Hello, I am using FreeBSD-7.0-RELEASE and an intel 2100 wireless mini-pci card. The wireless connection is to a linksys router which then connects to a second router that acts as a DHCP server and gateway. The commands I use to start are the following: wpa_supplicant -D bsd -i ipw0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B ifconfig ipw0 192.168.x.x route add default gateway_ip I have no problem with establishing a connection, in fact that works quite easily. After a period of time, I realize that I have no Internet access. I can ping the wireless router, but not the DHCP/gateway nor any outside IP. When I check to see if wpa_supplicant is running, I see that it is not. Restarting wpa_supplicant and resetting the routing table reestablishes all connections. Is there some reason that wpa_supplicant would stop running? As a side note, macosx seems to have no problems with this configuration on a different machine.
