im on 6.1R, I tried to do as instructed on handbook, but no luck.
My laptop suppose to be the client, and i have a netgear wireless modem
router up and running.
How to make the freebsd see the router have the ip, and make the device
up?
from dmesg
ugen0: Broadcom Corp HP Integrated Module
The following is the output of ifconfig -a
# ifconfig -a

the following is in /etc/rc.conf (i think there is something wrong)
ifconfig_fwe0="DHCP"
dhcp_program="/sbin/dhclient"
ddhcp_flags=""
the following is compiles in the kernel
wlan
an
awi
ral
wi
wlan_wep
wlan_ccmp
wlan_tkip
wl As i have been told that fwe0 is not the wireless device, then how to
show it up?
compiled the kernel to some modifications as i wrote here, but no luck,
Will kindly someone help me, as im new to wireless and bsd.

Marwan,
fwe0 is your ethernet over IEEE1394 (firewire) connection. According to
the information above you don't have your wireless interface even present,
ie ugen0 was not present in the ifconfig output you have listed above.

Here are some good relevant comments about your chipset:
<http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-27794.html>, and you
should refer to this page
(<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html>
: Chapter 27.3) instead of the chapter mentioned in the bsdforums thread I
gave earlier.

Also the handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/advanced-networking.html
With no wep I think your rc.conf is ok, if you use wep:
ifconfig_ugen0="wepmode on deftxkey 1 wepkey 0x<key> DHCP
assuming you are using FreeBSD 5 or 6, you can dynamically load all the drivers
using /boot/loader.conf. For my laptop (a thinkpad T42p) I have:
snd_ich_load="YES"
if_ipw_load="YES"
wlan_load="YES"
wlan_wep_load="YES"
acpi_ibm_load="YES"
That saves rebuilding the kernel to add the ugen device, assuming it is not
there.
