Hello,

My FreeBSD laptop is unable to get IP address over DHCP but the same network works fine on Windows, Ubuntu and Android so I believe the problem lies in my FreeBSD configuration and not on the router/access point. Problem occurs only for wireless interface.

FreeBSD 8.1 amd64 with Atheros interface. Wireless networking was working fine on that system (the same config files) until I had to replace my wireless router.

My rc.conf file:
  wlans_ath0="wlan0"
  ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"

I'm using standard dhclient.conf file.

My wpa_supplicant.conf file:
  network={
  ssid="wifi"
  scan_ssid=1
  bssid=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
  priority=9
  mode=0
  proto=RSN
  key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
  auth_alg=OPEN
  pairwise=CCMP
  group=CCMP
  psk="xxxxx"
}

Now after reboot I'm geting wlan0 connection (status associated):
wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
  ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
  inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255
  media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet DS/11Mbps mode 11g
  status: associated
  ssid wifi channel 9 (2452 MHz 11g) bssid d8:5d:4c:ea:cb:ee
  regdomain 103 indoor ecm authmode WPA2/802.11i privacy ON
  deftxkey UNDEF AES-CCM 2:128-bit txpower 20 bmiss 7 scanvalid 450
  bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi 7 roam:rate 5
  protmode CTS wme burst roaming MANUAL

But for some reason it doesn't get the IP address!
And whrn I manually try to: dhclient wlan0
  DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
  DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11
  DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 16
  DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 21
  DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5
  No DHCPOFFERS received.
  No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

Again, other systems doesn't seem to have any trouble with getting IP from this DHCP server and wired interface (em0) works fine too.

Any ideas please?
