Rum on FreeBSD

Hello there!

I am looking for some help on how to set up rum for my
Belkin F5D9050. I am unsure how to begin using it, but I've
already rebooted my server with
Code:
if_rum_load="YES"
in
/etc/rc.conf. There shouldn't be too much work from there to set
up my Belkin F5D9050, but I'm willing to work hard on it anyways,
seeing as that's my only way to get internet on my server.

Thank you in advanced!
 
You need that line in your /boot/loader.conf not rc.conf. You can also load the module from the commandline with kldload if_rum.
 
Hi,

It's very simple, this is my rc.conf (using WEP and it's under FreeBSD 8-Current):

Code:
wlans_rum0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="ssid myssid nwkey 0x0123456789 DHCP"

Code:
if_rum_load="YES"
wlan_scan_ap_load="YES"
wlan_scan_sta_load="YES"
wlan_wep_load="YES"
wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
wlan_tkip_load="YES"

That is my /boot/loader.conf

Code:
linux_enable="YES"
sshd_enable="YES"
hostname="jakeserver"
gnome_enable="YES"
wlans_rum0="wlan0"

That is my /etc/rc.conf

After a restart, this box doesn't seem to connect to
a my wlan.

my ifconfig -a only shows three names.
plip0
em0
lo0
 
Hi xsiick,

What say:

Code:
pciconf -lv

Which version of FreeBSD are you using ?
Is it pci or usb card ?

I'm not sure but probably your card is not supported.

After doing 3 days of research, I realized the problem here:

Belkin F5D9050 v3 != Belkin F5D9050 v4
(I have v4)


...v4 isn't compatible with freebsd apparently. I guess I'll have to buy a new wlan receiver.
