Hello! I am new to FreeBSD (switching from Debian Linux), and spent the last six hours installing it successfully like the newbie I am.
However, in the installation process, the DHCP lease step in the installation for my wireless interface failed, so I skipped it and moved on with the installation (I am wondering if this is to do with the problem; no matter what i did, the dhcp lease always failed to retrieve).
I tried using wpa_supplicant to get internet access once I was in my newly installed FreeBSD, and it printed:
“re0: Failed to initialize driver interface”
Then, when I typed “dhclient re0”, it was doing “no link ...... giving up”
I am wondering if anyone knows how I can fix my problem, and get wpa_supplicant and dhclient to work properly so I can have internet access on FreeBSD. Thank you kindly, everyone!
Also: my wifi works 100%, I even tested it on my phone and other windows computer. This problem is FreeBSD related
