Identical situation and identical feelings :)

Mine, after wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf works regularly with no need to unplug, it just takes a bit to complete the dhcp handshake. I don't understand the p1, p2, p3 thing: # uname -aip FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE #0: Thu Feb 17 02:41:51 UTC 2011...

It is the opposite, booting does not work, but now it doesn't require unplug/plug, the command wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf suffices. Then, on reboot, it works. I did wlandebug ... debug, waited 20 secs, wlandebug ... 0, dmesg | grep wlan0:... and I confirm it didn't...

So, here we are. Sometimes it works, some other (I would say most), it needs unplug, replug. In the meanwhile, I finished installing KDE 4, so what I'm posting was done from an X terminal with root privileges. Please let me know if you need diagnostics from a console. So, today I started the...

I didn't specify it, the DWL-G122 is rev. E, but you may have guessed it, as it features RT2870. I don't know what to say, now it works fully and regularly, and even with the DWL-G122, with no need to unplug and re-plug. The only thing I changed is that I installed and added to the...

A further investigation showed that: - points 2) and 3) of your list can be switched with no harm (leaving the device plugged during the boot and launching the driver later) - replacing kldload with re-enabling the commands in /boot/loader.conf, it does not work, but - it works if the device is...

First of all, thank you very much for your fast reply. And now, let's see if I manage to report correctly all the important information: I know that it is an overused expression, but "please be patient" :) 3a) with the DWA-140 the output is exactly the one you posted (RT3071 and RT3022)...

Hello, I installed 8.2-RELEASE (64bit) on a multiboot system, and tried to use a few wifi adapters, namely, a D-link DWL-G122, a Belkin F5D7050 ver. 2000, a D-link DWL-G132 and a D-link DWA-140. By inserting the devices into the running system, they are detected and for the Belkin and the...

I tried a Belkin F5D7050 v2000 with the ural(4) drivers and everything works properly. Although the D-Link DWL-G122 (rev. E) features the Ralink rt2870, the run(4) declares to be used with a compound chipset, of which rt2870 is only a part, and the D-Link DWL-G122 (rev. E) is correctly not...

I tried to ignore the fact that it doesn't scan, so I went on with wpa_supplicant.conf, and I entered my ssid and psk parameters. After I started the interface, I was lucky the first time, as it connected properly. Unfortunately, now it connects randomly, as if it was some changing parameter...

Thank you for your suggestion. I tried it, but nothing changed.

Hello, I have a D-Link DWL-G122 (rev. E), to be configured in FreeBSD 8.2 amd64. The device is up and running in the two other systems of my triple boot box (Ubuntu 10.10 and Win XP SP3). I am pretty confident that the chipset is the Ralink RT2870, as detected in the Linux boot, as well as...

Thank you all. I realized that grub2 has compatibility issues with a number of applications. I downgraded to grub for the Linux partition, then used GAG as a first stage boot loader: everything worked properly at the first attempt.

Thank you, I'll try it. For the record, (hd0,4) did not work, just the same as (hd0,msdos4). The error message, immediately after the GRUB selection, is: error: not an assignment. error: invalid signature. Press any key to continue...

Thank you for your prompt reply. FreeBSD is actually "/dev/sda4" on GParted. I used msdos4, as the automatically detected boots in GRUB were compiled as (hd0,msdos1) for /dev/sda1 (Ububntu) and (hd0,msdos2) for /dev/sda2 (Windows). However, I'll try later with (hd0,4), to be sure. (I am now at...

Hello everybody, I would like to experiment with FreeBSD. As I already have a dual booted machine (Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows XP) with plenty of disk space, I attempted a triple boot. First, I prepared the .img on a USB flash. As I messed up with dd from Linux, I used Image Writer from Windows...
