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 indicated in several pages on the Internet.
So for FreeBSD I used the run(4) drivers. After including the run load line, the runfw for the firmware, and the wep, ccmp and tkip in /boot/loader.conf, as well as
and
in /etc/rc.conf, the ifconfig wlan0 shows correctly the MAC address of the device.
It is however in "no carrier" status. Is it correct? The command ifconfig wlan0 up works, but after that ifconfig wlan0 scan doesn't yield any result and to have back the prompt it must be interrupted with ctrl+C.
My doubts are essentially two:
Thank you in advance.

Code:
wlans_ath0="wlan0"

ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

My doubts are essentially two:
- the device is not listed under those supported by run(4), shall I consider that run(4) indicates a combined chipset that includes something else besides RT2870?
- shall I operate some further configuration to bring it in a status other than "no carrier"?
Thank you in advance.
