Re: Problem regarding dhcp and FreeBSD 4.10 on a laptop

[Scott Key]

I checked the resolv.conf file, but alas, it had the proper information in 
it. The laptop still can't connect to the internet, I've even tried using a 
linksys wireless-B USB network adapter and the WAP key to try and connect, 
but no go.

configured rc.conf to include a pccard_ifconfig (currently it's set to 
DHCP, which seems to be setting the appropriate ip address). Any help that 
could be offered would be most appreciated.
