I have a LinkSys WMP11 card and am trying to configure it
with FreeBSD-Stable. Everthing looks Ok but I cannot get traffic to the
access point. This card works ok with a Windows setup on the same machine.
I have included the commands I used to get setup and the wicontrol output
done afterwards:
wicontrol -k 0x11111111111111111111111111 -v 1
wicontrol -k 0x22222222222222222222222222 -v 2
wicontrol -k 0x33333333333333333333333333 -v 3
wicontrol -k 0x44444444444444444444444444 -v 4
wicontrol -T 2
wicontrol -e 1
wicontrol -n MY-SSID
ifconfig wi0 inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 0xffffff00
My provider uses 128 bit WEP keys. The output of wicontrol after this is:
NIC serial number: [ 0123456789 ]
Station name: [ FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node ]
SSID for IBSS creation: [ FreeBSD IBSS ]
Current netname (SSID): [ MY-SSID ]
Desired netname (SSID): [ MY-SSID ]
Current BSSID: [ 00:40:96:49:18:a1 ]
Channel list: [ 2047 ]
IBSS channel: [ 6 ]
Current channel: [ 8 ]
Comms quality/signal/noise: [ 58 89 0 ]
Promiscuous mode: [ Off ]
Port type (1=BSS, 3=ad-hoc): [ 1 ]
MAC address: [ 00:06:25:03:8a:69 ]
TX rate (selection): [ 11 ]
TX rate (actual speed): [ 2 ]
RTS/CTS handshake threshold: [ 2347 ]
Create IBSS: [ Off ]
Access point density: [ 1 ]
Power Mgmt (1=on, 0=off): [ 0 ]
Max sleep time: [ 100 ]
WEP encryption: [ On ]
TX encryption key: [ 2 ]
Encryption keys: [ 0x11111111111111111111111111 ][
0x22222222222222222222222222 ][ 0x33333333333333333333333333][
0x44444444444444444444444444]
These values look the same as the windows setup. My provider says he can
see me associating with the access point but he never sees an IP. Any
advice will be greatly appreciated.
