Happy Monday! I have successfully installed and configured a Siemens SpeedStream Wireless PCI Adapter, Model SS1024, in a desktop PC running FreeBSD 4.6 Release. I didn't know how to get wep configured via /etc/rc.conf, so I used a shell script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Since I'm a newbie at networking and my approach seemed too easy, I am concerned that I may have missed something. Would someone review the script and tell me if I've forgotten anything important? Assumptions: * Firewall configuration is adequate * /etc/resolve.conf has been edited correctly * This test PC will be upgraded to FreeBSD 4-Stable /usr/local/etc/rc.d/wi0-dhcp.sh: #!/bin/sh # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/wi0-dhcp.sh # Configure wireless interface using DHCP case $1 in start) ifconfig wi0 ssid "datawok" authmode "shared" nwkey [replace with 0x and wep key] dhclient wi0 echo ' wi0' ;; stop) kill `cat /var/run/dhclient.pid` ifconfig wi0 remove echo ' wi0 removed' ;; status) ifconfig wi0 ;; *) echo 'usage: /usr/local/etc/wi0-dhcp.sh [start|stop|status]' ;; esac # End of file Thanks, Andrew Gould __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
