Hi there,
I'm new here, but I've been using FreeBSD 7.3 for a while some time back. Now i I'd decided to try out FreeBSD 8.1, I'm a gaping newbie and can't seem to get my wireless network connection going. I've been at it for hours, read an inhuman amount of threads relating to any part of my problem, tried to consult the man pages and even reinstalled three times. After all of that, this is the current state I am in:
I'm using an Asus X72Sr notebook, my network adapter is Intel 3945ABG/4965AGN, my wireless network is WEP secured.
Sysinstall did not detect my wireless network adapter. It made no notice of it at all. I've checked several logs for this. When I installed 7.3, if i I remember correctly, It didn't detect it as well, but when I installed FreeBSD over FTP with wired internet it detected my wireless adapter after the install for some reason...
/etc/rc.conf:
/boot/loader.conf:
doing
shows:
doing
Just hangs
doing
shows:
I'm glad that at least I can find some wireless networks, but I really can't find a solution to connect to one..
I really don't know what the problem is.. and I hope I'm not posting something stupid, but is there anybody who could give me any insight into this? Help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Bas
