It should get an address via DHCP. (I did not see where this was indicated in ifconfig.)
ifconfig shows that wi0 is: associated SSID="Donner Pass" (this is correct) wep is on, channel 1, and 128 bit key (all correct) Thanks, Scott -----Original Message----- From: sektie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 5:02 AM To: Scott Miller; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Newbie wirless install question > windows.

Heh, I'm wondering if you did the same thing I did. You set the WEP key, but did you turn WEP on? ;) Check your ifconfig. Are you getting an IP via DHCP, or is it statically assigned? Does it say that your NIC is associated in ifconfig? Gotta love FBSD ifconfig. Having wireless support in ifconfig saves quite a bit of time. Didn't realize how much I liked it until I was forced to set up linux on a laptop. :) Randi [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://perlpimp.codersluts.net _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
