Hello, I am running 9.0-RC3 i386 on an Acer Aspire One D150. i am having trouble with the wireless setup. I have two wireless cards, the BCM94312MCG that came with it, and an Atheros 5424/2424 that i swapped out. I can run the BCM with ndis and the windows xp driver, and the Atheros with the ath driver that is installed with FreeBSD. (But BCM/ndis is noticeably much slower, Atheros - no green "wireless" light appears on netbook ) i am getting the same results with either nic card, and i think i am just missing something simple. ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290 ether 00:24:2b:ad:d6:5f nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g status: associated wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:24:2b:ad:d6:5f inet 10.0.0.21 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/24Mbps mode 11g status: associated ssid CUDAPANG channel 6 (2437 MHz 11g) bssid 00:22:3f:9b:b8:aa regdomain 101 indoor ecm authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:104-bit txpower 20 bmiss 7 scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi 7 roam:rate 5 protmode CTS wme burst connecting: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 ifconfig wlan0 up scan ifconfig wlan0 inet 10.0.0.21 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid CUDAPANG wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:0x10961323931B628F844360718A scan results: p00ntang# ifconfig wlan0 up scan SSID/MESH ID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS CUDAPANG 00:22:3f:9a:16:1b 6 54M -69:-93 100 EPS ATH CUDAPANG 00:22:3f:9b:b8:aa 6 54M -68:-93 100 EPS WME ATH Abujie 00:14:6c:7a:98:ec 6 54M -89:-93 100 EPS RSN WPA ATH TDMA chavez family 00:c0:02:11:22:33 6 54M -88:-93 100 EP HTCAP RSN WME WPS My machine shows up on the wireless router as a "connected device" w/ correct mac and ip showing But i cannot ping gw, no machine on lan or outside.
