There is no physical switch to enable wireless there.
Notebooks also have function-key combinations to enable and disable
the radio.
I've been able to use wireless on this laptop on FreeBSD 9.0. I just
followed the instructions in the handbook and that was it. This time
round, I seem to have done the same thing, but there's probably
something I must be doing wrong.
Please post the output of 'ifconfig -a'.

I don't see anything obviously wrong. Is an access point within
range? Has someone set it to have a hidden SSID?
The reason why ssid is empty in the output of ifconfig above, is because
I've omitted it in /etc/rc.conf.
Here's my /etc/rc.conf:
cat /etc/rc.conf
hostname=box0
ifconfig_re0=DHCP
sshd_enable=YES
moused_enable=YES
ntpd_enable=YES
powerd_enable=YES
# Set dumpdev to AUTO to enable crash dumps, NO to disable
dumpdev=AUTO
wlans_ath0=wlan0
ifconfig_wlan0=WPA DHCP
hald_enable=YES
dbus_enable=YES
linux_enable=YES
I didn't put anything related to the Atheros drivers in the
/boot/loader.conf as support for them is compiled into the kernel and
loaded at boot time:
kldstat -v|egrep 'wlan|ath_'
98 pci/ath_pci
434 wlan
433 wlan_wep
432 wlan_tkip
431 wlan_ccmp
430 wlan_amrr
436 wlan_sta 435 wlan_ratectl_none
Quick question...
The ath_hal(4) man page says that the support for my wireless card is
handled via ath_hal. It seems to be compiled into the kernel, but I'm
not seeing it being loaded like the wpa_ and ath_pci modules are.
dmesg|grep -i Ath
ath0: Atheros 5424/2424 mem 0xd600-0xd600 irq 16 at device 0.0

ath0: AR2425 mac 14.2 RF5424 phy 7.0
egrep 'ath_|wlan_' GENERIC

device wlan_amrr # AMRR transmit rate control algorithm
device ath_pci # Atheros pci/cardbus glue
device ath_hal # pci/cardbus chip support
device ath_rate_sample # SampleRate tx rate control for ath
Also, here's my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf just in case I overlooked
something:
cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=2
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid=plan9
psk=wpa_passphrase-generated psk

Re: Wrong version of sources?

By using the RELENG_9 tag, you're tracking the STABLE development branch. By pulling in the sources for the STABLE development branch and rebuilding the kernel and the world by following the instructions given in the Handbook, you are sticking with the GENERIC kernel configuration, unless you build a custom kernel. I'm still slightly confused by this tag stuff though; sorry (despite perusal of the handbook). Are you saying that until RELENG_9_1 is made available I won't be able to compile kernel modules? Or that I should have a different tag in my standard-supfile? That's right. RELENG_9_1 isn't available yet. The options available to you now, as far as I can tell, are: (1). Do not recompile the kernel and the world, if you want to track 9.1-RC, to be followed by RELENG_9_1, once it becomes available. You may use freebsd-update(8), to keep the system up-to-date by way of binary updates. Once release 9.1 is out, you may change RELENG_9 in your sup-file to RELENG_9_1, and then you'll be tracking the release branch and you'll be able to keep the kernel and the world up-to-date by way of source updates. Use pkg_add(1) to install VBox. (2). Stick with RELENG_9, which is the STABLE development branch. Pull in the latest sources. Rebuild the kernel and the world. You may be prompted to rebuild the ports installed on your system as well. Use pkg_add(1) or the ports to install software. If any one else on the list thinks otherwise, as they are more experienced folk on the list than I, I'd be happy to stand corrected. Hope the above helps.

So you probably have an outdated timezone file. That would lead the computer to be one hour late rather than two, but it's probably a change you need to make. Also check the system's time in UTC to see whether the clock itself is off. run tzsetup... He already did that, using sysinstall. You can tell that he did it correctly because his date(1) output says FET which is the correct time zone for him. His time zone file is, almost certainly, too old, and will remain so no matter how many times he reinstalls it. I think the decision to change the rules was only made about two weeks ago, and the updated time zone file couldn't have been available until after that.
