wireless help

Hello, You say you've created a static ip for your computer. What is the actual ip? If your router is on subnet 192.168.22.0, then your ip must also be on that subnet. Also, is your router configured as a gateway or router and is DHCP enabled on the router? __

ipw driver in 6.3 vs. 7.0

Re: shared object "libc.so.6" not found after freebsd-update

Default config for claws-mail

I like to use claws-mail with the bogofilter plugin as it is fast and simple. The package is built without bogofilter and I wondered why that is so. Does having claws-mail built with bogofilter conflict with something else? Or is this a legacy of the time when the plugin was a separate port? ___

Re: what do I do when a new piece of hardware doesn't even show up in dmesg?

You need to make certain all the necessary modules for your card are loaded. Try 'kldload ath' and then put the card in and see if that does anything. Also, use 'pciconf -lv' to confirm what the card is detected as. See the handbook on wireless configuration if that works. __
