I have FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE installed on a Shuttle computer and am attempting to upgrade the WiFi. It came with a RealTek RTL8191se PCIe card that works well. But the card only operates in the 2.4 GHz band and I would like to have dual band capabilities. So I bought an Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 card to replace it, made the configuration changes, and restarted the computer.
No joy. Everything looks proper except I can no longer connect to the network.
Until testing is completed, I am using the following in loader.conf:
ifconfig reports:
And
lists the appropriate connections. But wpa_supplicant outputs:
approximately every five seconds from startup until termination.
Does someone have this card working? Or can someone tell what is wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.
