This is a fresh installation of 10.0-RELEASE (amd64). Despite following the relevant section in the handbook, I can't seem to get wireless networking (at home) set up properly. The router is on 192.168.1.1, using WEP (yes, I know) and I am trying to give FreeBSD a fixed IP address of 192.168.1.3. Here is the output of ifconfig wlan0: wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 0c:ee:e6:80:ed:52 inet 192.168.1.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet6 fe80::eee:e6ff:fe80:ed52%wlan0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet MCS mode 11ng status: associated ssid daddysnetwork channel 7 (2442 MHz 11g ht/20) bssid 00:24:01:c6:d7:c4 regdomain 101 indoor ecm authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:104-bit txpower 20 bmiss 7 scanvalid 60 protmode CTS ampdulimit 64k ampdudensity 4 shortgi wme burst But when I try, for example, to ping 8.8.8.8 (Google's public DNS), all packets are lost. What am I doing wrong? What other information should I provide?
