Hi,
a little help on this would be great.
OS is 6.0 Beta 5 "-STABLE". Updated ~12 hours ago.
root@aklemm[ttyp5]{211} ~ uname -a
FreeBSD aklemm.klemm.apsfilter.org 6.0-BETA5 FreeBSD 6.0-BETA5 #3: Tue Oct 4 06:55:14 CEST 2005 root@aklemm.klemm.apsfilter.org:/.amd_mnt/172.16.2.1/host/data/laptop/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/AKLEMM i386
since yesterday I cannot get my WLAN (ndis) to work.
I assume its because the weptxkey cannot be set anymore.
1-2 days ago the following command served me well in
/etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig ndis0 wepmode on weptxkey 2 wepkey 2:xxxxxxxxxxxxx channel 11 \
authmode shared ssid xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I splitted it up now into this order, like the arguments are
described in the manpage:
+ ifconfig ndis0 down
+ ifconfig ndis0 up
+ ifconfig ndis0 authmode shared
+ ifconfig ndis0 bssid any
+ ifconfig ndis0 channel any
+ ifconfig ndis0 wepmode on
+ ifconfig ndis0 weptxkey 2
+ ifconfig ndis0 wepkey 2:xxxxxxxxxxxxx
ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ !!!!!!!!!
+ ifconfig ndis0 ssid xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+ ifconfig ndis0 172.16.2.10/24
+ unset -x
console messages so far:
-----------------------

Kernel is updated.
Additionally I created a new kernel module using ndisgen
and copied it manually to /boot/kernel to be sure, that
all is well.
