--UBnjLfzoMQYIXCvq Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I normally use wireless NICs on my laptop, especially at home, I swapped the miniPCI wi(4) for an iwi(4) a few weeks ago, and had it working in stable/6, stable/7, and head until a few days ago, when it seemed that the NIC was associating OK, but dhclient(8) reports: dhclient: Exiting /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks (PREINIT) with exit_status 0 DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 16 ^C This morning, I had the time to try plugging in a wireless PCcard (an0) NIC; after doing that, I see: dhclient: Exiting /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks (PREINIT) with exit_status 0 DHCPDISCOVER on an0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 DHCPDISCOVER on an0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 DHCPOFFER from 172.17.0.1 DHCPREQUEST on an0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from 172.17.0.1 bound to 172.17.1.37 -- renewal in 302400 seconds. which is a bit closer to the desired effect. I realize that an(4) doesn't use wlan(4), so this could indicate a problem with either iwi(4) or wlan(4) -- but it seems to show that dhclient(8) itself is working, as is the basic infrastructure (my DHCP server; the access point; the ipfw(4) rules I have in place before & after DHCP activity). As I type, I'm running: FreeBSD g1-37.catwhisker.org 9.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #1123 r197399:= Tue Sep 22 06:16:11 PDT 2009 root@:/common/S4/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY = i386 and am in the process of building head at r197427. Is there something I might do to help diagnose what's wrong here? Peace, david --=20 David H. Wolfskill david@catwhisker.org Depriving a girl or boy of an opportunity for education is evil.
