Have you tried changing the ifconfig_wlan0="ssid linksys wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey ********** DHCP" to ifconfig_wlan0="ssid linksys wepmode on weptxkey 0 wepkey ********** DHCP"

Can you please post your /etc/rc.conf and maybe even your /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

try replacing network={ ssid="linksys" key mgmt=NONE wep_key1=********** wep_tx_keyidx=1 } with network={ ssid="linksys" key mgmt=NONE wep_key0=********** wep_tx_keyidx=0 } it worked for me

My friend has a toshiba laptop with a intel 3945abg wireless card. When she does ifconfig wpi0 doesnt show up. This is in her /boot/loader.conf if_wpi_load="YES" wlan_load="YES" wlan_amrr_load="YES" firmware_load="YES" wpifw_load="YES" wlan_xauth_load="YES" legal.intel_wpi.license_ack=1...

Thanks guys! :) I managed to find most of the ports I installed but not all of them. I will try reinstalling the ones that I didn't. This thread can be locked now edit= Found them all, the port system does rock haha :D.

I have "make install clean" some ports. They compiled and installed without any errors but now I can't find where my packages have installed to. How can I find this out? I went into /var/db/pkg but i didn't find anything useful there. Sorry about this, i am a beginner to BSD.

Atheros AR9285 support Does this wireless card work with freebsd 8 straight out of the box? Has the driver been committed to freebsd 8? I want to install freebsd on my laptop today, previous installations did not support it so I had to go back to linux :(. I hope the problem is fixed now...

I am running pc-bsd 8 rc whcih I assume is based on freebsd 8. Not sure about the source. to get the patch I did this fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~rpaulo/ar9285_stable_8.diff cd /usr/src patch < /place/where/diff/file/is/stored I think that the patch is dodgy. I think I will need to find...

how do i remove the -Werror?

I need the device ath,i think that that is the patch I applied in order to make my wireless work.

When I run "make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL" everything goes well until after a while but then I get a error message saying c/sys/dev/ath -I/usr/src/sys/dev/ath/ath_hal cc1: warnings being treated as errors...

edit: to install the kernel all I have to do is this? On (64bit) # cp /PCBSD/conf/PCBSD.amd64 sys/amd64/conf/PCBSD # make buildkernel installkernel KERNCONF=PCBSD note that I use pcbsd but since It is freebsd with gui i figured that i would be better off posting on freebsd forums since i can...

I had a look at that thread and the links and I am confused on what to do once i click on them http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/fr...0/1/29/6737373 http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/fr...0/1/29/6737993

done that, how do I know it's in effect?

I want to apply this patch but I am not sure how. http://people.freebsd.org/~rpaulo/ar9285_stable_8.diff How would I apply this? And How do I install network manager or wicd since doing pkg_add wicd doesn't seem to work.

Edit: right now I am downloading the FreeBSD 8 amd64 bit iso,wish me luck :)

It doesn't seem to work on linux

acpiconf -i 0 doesn't seem to work (right now I am still using Linux) I guess I will wait until the patch has been applied. Is there a way for me to know what the patch has been applied?

What's a good solution for the wireless? I heard that Atheros cars aren't very well supported.

I am planning on switching to FreeBSD but I am not sure about hardware since my I run into a lot of problems with the PC-BSD installation. I am asking now before it is not too late after I erase my current OS (which is Arch Linux) lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP79 Host Bridge...
