Great -- so I hope if we can also configure your WiFi card to use channel 13 (which it wasn't before) then you will be able to connect, unless there are also other issues. So, the good news is that you successfully managed to change country from US to Netherlands. The bad news is that your...

tingo, Quarter Wave Vertical started new thread using-cdrecord-in-my-account.54852.

Slow down a bit -- running service netif restart will make various call to ifconfig and put you back where you started. OK, so additional channels 12, 13 and 14 (for 802.11g) are available under Arch GNU/Linux... Did you check which channel the access point is using? After you successfully...

Another thought: perhaps the wlan0 interface needs to be created with the country parameter set. Try ifconfig wlan0 destroy && ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 country Netherlands.

Perhaps. Can you check which channel the router is operating on as you offered? That will at least tell us whether it is a channel that your WiFi card can currently use. I'm not sure why the attempt to change the country failed. Perhaps the wlan0 and/or wpi0 interface needs to be marked as...

Let's eliminate my channel theory. In your screenshot of output from ifconfig wlan0, there is part of one line that says country US. I suspect this will limit the channels your WiFi card can operate on. It should be possible to display available channels (noting I'm not on a FreeBSD machine...

When remote rule editing is your only choice, a good tip is to set up crontab to disable the firewall every few minutes or at least to load a known working ruleset that will grant you remote access. Also, you may find it useful to use pfctl (something like pfctl -n newruleset) to parse your...

One of my favourites from xkcd.com:

If you are really concerned, it is perfectly possible to move the entire /boot filesystem onto a USB stick that you can hang around your neck and therefore actually encrypt the entire hard disk in the computer, with cryptographic verification as well as encryption. "Full" disk encryption...

cdrecord certainly has a comprehensive man page, including: The man page goes on to suggest creating a cdburners group and ensuring that group has read and write permissions on the CD writer device. Personally, I would go with this option to configure permissions and set the setuid permission...

Identifying what chipset the adapter uses and then searching for it in the hardware compatibility list is a good start. The link you supplied doesn't mention the chipset unfortunately. Searching the mailing lists for "handacc" didn't bring back any results either. I would be cautious about...

Does the NIC you are using now (wpi0) detect the access point when you scan? I think that is happening because after the reboot wlan0 has already been created, whereas as wblock@ pointed out before, in your earlier post that interface didn't exist. Humour me and try changing the channel on the...

Did you configure the device that is your CD writer so that your user account has write permission?

Megameneer Now I also have an aching neck, I also noticed you accidentally included in the photos what looks like you new forums password. You might want to change it :)

Good spot, wblock@. Without restarting, it is possible to create wlan0 yourself with ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 and then try to configure WPA with wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, referencing the excellent Wireless Networking page in the FreeBSD handbook. I end up...

I also just spotted this line in your jail configuration: interface="lo0"; Unless you are only intending to target the host/other jails also attached to your loopback interface (lo0), you will need to include a real network interface (looking something like em0) in your jail's configuration.

I suspect "Host discovery" uses an ICMP ping. To allow a jail to create ICMP packets you need to configure the host to allow jails in general to use raw sockets in addition to configuring the specific jail to allow raw sockets (which you have already done). On the host, as root, do this with...

I was going suggesting trying to change the channel on your father's router, since the US allows fewer channels than the rest of the world (limitations on spectrum I believe) and I'm pretty sure FreeBSD defaults to the US region for WiFi cards. However, I agree with tobik, in that it looks like...

The excellent FreeBSD handbook, the official documentation for FreeBSD and a sensible first place to look, has a section entitled VirtualBox Guest Additions on a FreeBSD Guest that would seem directly relevant and also discusses the required configuration changes in the guest system.

On my machines I install the sysutils/ezjail basejail using the FreeBSD installation files (on the installation media you may still have -- no need to download again) mounted in a directory using a file:// URL. It is possible to use the -h switch with the ezjail-admin install command to choose...
