To get mine working, I added the following to rc.conf pccard_enable="YES" pccard_beep="0" # this is because I hate the beep. pccard_ifconfig="DHCP" I don't use wicontrol at all. Hope this helps, -Tony -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Kevin McCormick Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 12:47 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Subject: Getting wi and wicontrol under control Hello, I'm currently running RELEASE-4.5 on a Compaq Armada E500 with a Compaq WL110 802.11b card. I'm using a slightly modified GENERIC kernel (for sound support and WINE). The notebook also has an integrated 10/100 NIC I can' seem to figure out how to use my wireless card. I seem to have wi working properly. Using wicontrol, I can set the WEP key, network name, etc., and using an X wi tool, I get the appropriate signal strength (i.e. I seem to be connected on the MAC level). Here are the problems: 1. I can't seem to figure out how to use dhclient to obtain an IP address - typing in dhclient returns "cannot bind address" Also, if I use ifconfig to manually assign an address, it doesn't seem to "stick", and still can't ping any addresses. 2. All of the wicontrol settings are lost when I restart the PC. I need to type them in every time to get signal. 3. pccardd doesn't seem to recognize the card until the "network setup: hostname" portion of the boot sequence. Any ideas on any of the problems?
