Problems with Orinoco WaveLan (long)
As far as I'm able to see, the card is identified, configured and seems to exist fine (ifconfig -a shows it as up, reports the details, etc before the card is given any IP or netmask). wicontrol shows the stats, the IBSS name is correct (of the local access point I connect to), everything seems ok. I do the following: # dhclient wi0 and get the following: wi0: watchdog timeout After several repeated messages I get my prompt back, and ifconfig -a tells me that wi0 is: IP 0.0.0.0 mask 0xFF00 broadcast 255.255.255.255. netstat -rn gives: destgw flags netif 0 link#5 UC wi0 plus my other routes. The watchdog comments continue popping up on the console, of course. My ISP is currently running the AccessPoint as a NAT/DHCP server on a class A network (10.0.0.0). Luckily I have a laptop, lucky or not it has WinXP on it. I've configured it to use DHCP and put the Orinoco card in it, it works perfectly. I installed 4.0-RELEASE, CVSup'ed to 4.4-STABLE and have built and installed both world and kernel. I intend the machine to be a gateway/firewall (ipfw) and do NAT translation for my local home network, allowing all machines to access the broadband wireless connection. The hardware is a Fujitsu Siemens ScenicPro, Pentium 200MMX, both ISA and PCI slots. The Orinoco is in a PC-Card carrier in PCI slot 4, a Matrox MGA Millenium is in PCI slot 0. A CNet Pro-200 (dc0) is in slot 3. Nothing else is installed in the machine. The entire disk is dedicated to FreeBSD, I boot from a CD-R until the spinning baton, then give a boot message for the hard disk and kernel image (because for some strage reason the hard disk refuses to boot, although every test I've run on it say's it fine and I've tried every jumper setting available. When it's up and running everything works great. This is the same for FBSD, Windows and DOS, so I think it might be a faulty control card on the hard disk itself.). Checking my kernel configuration file and the dmesg, I see that there are no IRQ conflicts - the Orinoco is on IRQ 10, the dc0 on 11, etc. I have only a very few warning messages in my dmesg, relevant lines are as follows: boot ad(0,a)/kernel Warning: loader(8) metadata is missing! #this because I boot from the CD-R of 4.0-RELEASE, I expect. I wonder how I would go about making a boot floppy or CD-R dedicated to the machine's and kernel's configuration that would pass the boot (and root dev) to the hdd...? then I get this very shortly after the CPU type/setup is done: pci0: (vendor=0x11a, dev=0x0005) at 3.0 pci0: (vendor=0x11a, dev=0x0005) at 3.1 I'm guessing it's something built onto the mainboard, like a soundchip or the flashcard reader or something. I got the machine for free from someone who didn't want it after buying a new one. further down we have this: pci_cfgintr: can't route an interrupt to 0:18 INTA pcic0: at device 18.0 on pci0 pcic0: PCI Memory allocated: 0x4400 pci_cfgintr: can't route an interrupt to 0:18 INTA pcic0: no PCI interrupt routed, trying ISA pcic0: Polling mode pcic0: TI12XX PCI Config Reg: [pwr save][CSC parallel isa irq] pccard0: ... then this: pccard: card inserted, slot 0 wi0: at port 0x240-0x27f irq 10 slot 0 on pccard0 wi0: ethernet address: 00:02:2d:0b:c2:39 I've checked sysctl, it says: hw.pcic.ignore_function_1: 0 and won't let me change it to "YES" or "1" (variable read only - even as root), so I'm not sure how else I would go about trying it (from what I've read on Deja about similar problems). Hoping someone can point me in the right direction (or proper mailing list, in case *-mobile would be more appropriate because of Warners presence...)

vpn with mpd-netgraph, 4.4-STABLE
I'm trying to get mpd-netgraph to work so that I can log in to my ISP that uses PPTP VPN software. I'e read the docs, writen a config file, but it doesn't seem to be able to connect (or I think it connects, but doesn't negotiate/authenticate). Stranger still is that when running mpd from the command line and loading a bundle I get error messages like: set pptp mode: unknown command. Try "help". [myisp_bundle] using interface ng0 mpd: option "mppc" unknown [myisp_bundle:myisp_link] set pptp mode active is in the docs, as is option mppc! I imagine my config files are incorrect, but never using pptp/netgraph/mpd before and not understanding the underlying paradigm, I have no idea where I should start looking. I'm not even sure I'm using the right software for what I want to do, although several deja searches and posts both here and to questions resulted in no answers. I'm running 4.4-STABLE, have a dual home host with ipfw and natd running. My home LAN is on 192.168.128.0 and my ISP is on 10.10.2.0, their VPN server on 10.10.1.1. I get an IP via DHCP from them (10.10.2.0 range), conenct to VPN server to get a routable IP from a pool of dynamically adressable addresses, then I should be online. However I haven't gotten it to work. LAN/inside is on dc0, outside is on wi0 (Lucent).

Network setup questions
Well, I've asked 3 or 4 times now in the last 3 weeks, and haven't received any answers. Posted to comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc and to both questions- and [EMAIL PROTECTED] That leads me to conclude that either I'm: asking the wrong question(s), asking in an improper manner or asking the wrong people/wrong group. I *have* searched Deja, I *have* read the docs and attempted to get this to work - I really don't know where else I could be looking or asking for more information. If my question was worded poorly or inappropiate, I would appreciate a pointer as to where/how/who I might contact in order to get my system up and configured properly. Again, I'm trying to log into an ISP via PPTP for internet access, using mpd-netgraph but also trying out pptpclient. I have a small home LAN that I want to NAT/IPFW such that all machines can share the internet connection. I'm running FreeBSD 4.4-Stable.

Re: Network setup questions
Hi Joao, (vôce é português?) >I don't know much about pptp-client programs merely about the ports >needed >to >be open on a firewall in order to pass it trough. But if you say it >won't >work even with the firewall open, i guess there's not much help I >can >give >you.. No, I opened it up and had the same problem. Could nat be making problems for me? It's configured for my "external" interface wi0 (on the 10.10.2.0 net), should I configure it for the ng0 iface, or for something else? I tried pptp-client, the config script (perl) crashes, the script wants config files in /etc/pptp.d/ while the readme says to put them in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf (neither seems to work). It hangs when run, no log, no info, no connection :-( mpd-netgraph changes terms in the documentation (sometimes server, sometimes peer - the same, right?), nor is it clear to me what is my IP address and what is my peers address, if I need a "pptp self" address at all or not (and if so, which of my addresses is it?). My machine has (at least) 2 IP addresses... One for the LAN, one for the WAN. Also there's the loopback, and devices down that don't currently have addresses, like ppp0. And I'm assigned an IP when (if) I connect successfully via PPTP (and I know the genereal range). Plus I'm supposed to supply the VPN "name", I can't see where that is configured. Nor does the documentation say if one needs a pap.secrets or chap.secrets - all I have is a mpd.secrets, dunno if it's enough... Anyway I feel like I'm just digging myself deeper in this quicksand with each repeated time. Now I've found some doc's on Deja that say you need to run pppd in addition to pptp, one runs over the other. ?!?!? No wonder I'm getting confused ;-) >Anyway about the firewall .

mpd-netgraph log questions
Still struggling with PPTP... Trying to decipher the logfile in order to ask more appropriate questions and get this working. I have these iface's configured at startup: dc0 (home LAN 192.168.128.0) lp0 (? never used) lo0 (loopback) ppp0 (? never used) sl0 (? never used) faith0 (ipv4 -> ipv6) wi0 (ISP WAN 10.10.2.0, internet connection via VPN) When I run mpd I get ng0 as well (netgraph, it seems). I think I've narrowed my problem down to my configuration files. I *think* I'm able to connect with the VPN/PPTP server: Multi-link PPP for FreeBSD, by Archie L. Cobbs. Based on iij-ppp, by Toshiharu OHNO. mpd: pid 627, version 3.3 ([EMAIL PROTECTED] 22:47 18-Nov-2001) [:] load access [access] ppp node is "mpd627-access" [access] using interface ng0 mpd: option "mppc" unknown mpd: option "mppc" unknown [access:access] open [access] IFACE: Open event [access] IPCP: Open event [access] IPCP: state change Initial --> Starting [access] IPCP: LayerStart [access:access] [access] bundle: OPEN event in state CLOSED [access] opening link "access"...

mpd-netgraph configuration files
Still debugging, some questions to verify I have the proper config. FBSD dual homed host/gw for a home LAN dc0 home LAN192.168.128.0/24 wi0 ISP WAN 10.10.0.0/16 IPFW and NAT are running, ipfw is wide open at present, natd running -m -s -dynamic on wi0. Don't know if I need anything else special on nat for PPTP to work. My ISP has a pool of dynamically assignable (DHCP) routable IP's that they assign via a PPTP server at 10.10.1.1. The routable IP's are in the range 213.225.121.0/24 as far as I understand. My config looks like this: # mpd.conf access: new -i ng0 access access set iface idle 0 set iface route default set iface disable on-demand set bundle disable multilink set bundle authname "myreallogin" set bundle password "myrealpassword" set link yes pap set link yes chap set link no mppc set link disable no-orig-auth set ipcp ranges 0.0.0.0/0 10.10.1.1/0 and links like this: # mpd.links access: set link type pptp set pptp mode active set pptp peer 10.10.1.1 set pptp enable originate outcall mpd.secrets has one line, with the same login/password as in mpd.conf I'm a bit unsure as to what values should be in "set ipcp ranges", but I don't seem to get the error message mentioned in the manual so I think it's ok as is. Does this appear at all correct? My ISP knows a bit about Linux (they use it for the PPTP/VPN server, running PoPToP), and said I needed a "name" variable somewhere, at least when connecting from Linux (but not Windows). Should I use the "set link ident" for this?

mpd-netgraph CONNECTED!
But I have no idea why. Nor is the link usable. But I'm happy to see I'm making progress :-) As far as I can tell, I did exactly what the docs say not to do (and even generates a warning when loading the bundle) - I set both remote and peer to 0.0.0.0/0, mpd tells me "IPCP: peer address cannot be zero" and the manual explicitly states *not* to set this to zero. However it seemed to allow me to connect, for whatever reason. This would all be easier if I understood the basic paradigm... The strange thing (maybe not strange, I guess it's what I asked for when configuring the peer IP to 0) is that I then get a routable IP from the peer (like I'm supposed to) AND a "self" IP in the 10.100.0.0 range, which I don't understand (I'll call my ISP and ask). I already have (via DHCP) an "internal" WAN IP of 10.10.2.91 which seems to be pretty much constant every time I connect, however setting this in the mpd.conf results in me not being able to connect. Even if I allow a reasonable spread (10.10.0.0/16), it won't work. My routing get's all blown up with a default route that doesn't make sense at all (10.100.n.n as gateway to mt routable IP, but default route still to 10.10.2.1 - the internal WAN). Tried changing this after mpd connected with both "route change " and with "set route default" from the mpd prompt. Neither helped, they caused mpd to drop the connection (no route to host). But, at least now I can connect, that's good! Any ideas what's wrong here? (where should I be looking next...?)

More mpd-netgraph questions
A few things I've noticed: The "default" connection speed seems to be 64000 bps according to the log. The manual states you don't need to set anything regarding bandwidth or speed unless you're on an asynchronous dialup (modem, etc). I'm on a 11Mbs wireless WAN, and would like to know if and how I should configure (set link bandwidth foo). The manual says not to set 0.0.0.0 for remote (same as peer?) address in ipcp config, yet this was what allowed me to connect! Is my ISP's PPTP broken (Linux PoPToP), or is the documentation wrong? I'm not really clear on the difference between the "set ipcp ranges" and "set pptp peer" and "set pptp self" commands - could anyone give a hint or two? The problem now is (I think) that I end up with *2* IP's in the 10.0.0.0 class from my ISP, in addition to the routable address that's assigned (I get assigned both a dynamic routable and another dynamic non routable - which I already have via the WAN). Is this normal?

This is on current as of 05/01/01 I'm running 4.4-Stable, and as I recall (I'm on another host at the moment) the route command accepts an option to specify the interface (wi0 in your case).
