Hey, I've got an Atheros chipset based wireless network card, the card is a Netgear WPN311. I'm running FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT and I'm trying to configure my wireless network. i had it working on linux before but not that i've installed freebsd on my new computer it doesnt work. my network uses wpa2 psk authentication, and i believe my wpa_supplicant.conf is configured correctly.
when i do "/etc/rc.d/netif start" i get the following problems..
Starting wpa_supplicant.
ioct1[SIOCG80211, op 98, len 3076]: Invalid argument
wpa_supplicant[1455]: Failed to initialize driver interface
WARNING: Failed to start wpa_supplicant
same thing happens wen i try to start it manually. does anybody know whats wrong? i was following the FreeBSD handbook instructions on setting up my wireless network and added the appropriate lines to my /boot/loader.conf and /etc/rc.conf.
my rc.conf...
ifconfig_ath0="ssid my_ssid inet 192.168.2.4 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_ath0="WPA"
defaultrouter="192.168.2.1"
hostname"jesus.Belkin"
and my /boot/loader.conf...
if_ath_load="YES"
wlan_scan_ap_load="YES"
wlan_scan_sta_load="YES"
wlan_wep_load="YES"
wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
wlan_tkip_load="YES"
and my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf....
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="my_ssid"
scan_ssid=1
proto=RSN
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="my_psk"
}
any help would be much appreciated!
