Configuring Wireless adapter (Ural0)
I just installed my FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE after finding out that it supports my wireless adapter:
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satel...VisitorWrapper
with the Ural driver:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?q...SD+6.0-RELEASE
So I made the driver load on boot and start FreeBSD and the adapter's link light turns on showing that its recognized. I then type in the following in terminal:
I then type ifconfig ural0 and this is shown:Code:1)ifconfig ural0 --> this shows me that the adapte rhas indeed been recognized 2)kldload wlan_wep 3)ifconfig ural0 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid [network connection name] wepkey 0x[my WEP key(128 bit/104)] wepmode on up
I pinged my router and i receive all the packages so all is in order.Code:#ifconfig ural0 ural0: flags = 108843 <UP, BROADCAST, RUNNING, SIMPLEX, MULTICAST, NEEDSGIANT> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::212:17ff:fe75:c8a8%ural0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 192.168.1.1(My router's IP) netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:12:17:75:c8:90 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/1Mbps) status: associated ssid [my connection's name] channel 6 bssid 00:14:bf:20:6e:11 authomode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF wepkey 1:104-bit txpowmax 100 protmode CTS bintval 100
I then tried this:
and I try to go on the internet using mozilla or konquerer but getCode:4. dhclient ural0 and get : DHCPDiscover on ural0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5 DHCPDiscover on ural0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11 DHCPDiscover on ural0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14 DHCPDiscover on ural0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10 DHCPDiscover on ural0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 16 DHCPDiscover on ural0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4 No DHCPOffers received No working leases in persisten database - sleeping
(for example if I try to access www.google.com)
An error occurred while loading www.google.com
Unknown host www.google.com
Does anyone know how i set dhcp as I have a dynamic IP (I have AOL on windows) and use dhcp and receive an IP automatically each time I get online. Thanks a lot!
EDIT:
I also tried this after trying dhclient to no avail:
echo nameserver >/etc/resolv.conf (there was previously no /etc/resolv.conf, as this is a fresh install)
