Hi, I'm setting up a FreeBSD system for the first time on an IBM Thinkpad T41, but I can't connect to my wireless network. I've read chapter 31.3 in the handbook, and followed the steps to connect but I just can't figure it out. My access point is running on 802.11g with DHCP set up, and WEP security. I know this isn't recommended, but I have certain devices that can't use WPA and I just want to keep people out. WiFi works on this machine, and since setting up /boot/loader.conf the WiFi light blinks, as if it's ready. When I do [cmd=]ifconfig wlan0 up scan[/cmd], I can see my access point (As well as a few others around), but it just won't connect.
/boot/loader.conf contains the following:
I've added the following to /etc/rc.conf
And finally, /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf contains
Now, in the handbook it said it should be [font="Fixedsys"]wep_key3=[/font], but I'm using WEP key 1. I tried setting it to 3, but that didn't change anything.
So, when I try [cmd=]/etc/rc.d/netif start[/cmd] I get
/boot/loader.conf contains the following:
Code:
if_ath_load="YES"
wlan_wep_load="YES"
I've added the following to /etc/rc.conf
Code:
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="mode 11g ssid Falconi DHCP"
And finally, /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf contains
Code:
network={
ssid="Falconi"
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key1=94B6711012
wep_tx_keyidx=1
