I'm running a broadcom mini-pci card on a WPA-PSK network with no problems. You need to make sure that you've loaded the correct kernel modules to support the encryption in question. Also, IIRC, some cards will not support some types of encryption at all. Yours may be one of them. -cf Dimiter Ivanov wrote: > Hi, i have a PCMCIA wireless card with broadcom chip. > I used ndisgen to convert the windows drivers, and the card is > recognized, and can be used. > But i can only connect to wireless networks which are not using > encryption. > > It fails to associate to a network using WEP or WPA, i tried both with > wpa_supplicant and ifconfig, but with no luck. > > I'm a newbie freebsd user, i have a little *nix expirience, and this > is my first install of FreeBSD.
