USB tethering

[mutterhunt]

As to work further with vc and grafical installation (vulgo X and Plasma) I tried today USB tethering from my connected mobile to FreeBSD r363941M. The hotspot I'm using has a welcome page that isn't available via 'links' after being connected. Getting numbers on ping: no problem, but DNS: no!

After feeding the /boot/loader.conf with the necessary drivers (with kldload I always get: "Operation not permitted": why?) I get a ue0. Doing /etc/netstart and dhclient ue0 brings me an DHCP offer but no ping. (SYNDHCP on /etc/rc.conf - nothing at all.) What could be wrong.

FreeBSD r363941M

Post the output from freebsd-version -uk.

with kldload I always get: "Operation not permitted": why?

Only root is allowed to load kernel modules.

Only root is allowed to load kernel modules.

… and only if the kernel’s securelevel is <= 0.

 

[mutterhunt]

Thx for information about the kern secure level - this is why I always get "not permitted".

freebsd-version -uk:
FreeBSD current 13.0

another problem: can't register iwn6000g2bfw although giving the firmware driver in /boot/loader.conf since make kernel and world to r363941M.
