I am failrly new to FreeBSD. Over the weekend I installed FreeBSD-6.4 on my old Toshiba 2100CDT (Circa 1998) laptop to experiment with. I have installed elinks via ports and I have played around a bit with the internet using my old NIC card. It uses the rl0 driver and detects very fast using DHCP. Now,
I want to try connecting to my home router using a wireless card. I am using a linksys card and it is recognized via ath0 driver. I used the following commands: ifconfig ath0 up scan and this does bring up my home routers name (SSID). "bee"
How do I establish a connection to my home router using my laptop? using only commandline?
My home router also is wep encrypted.
Thanks everyone for the help.
I really like FreeBSD and its been a joy bringing back an old laptop to life.
