I am a Linux user trying Freebsd. I've installed 5.1 on two machines, one of

configuration settings appear to be correct but ifconfig -a shows that there
is no carrier. I suspect that the problem may be interrupt-related, so the
next thing I will try is to check the interrupt settings in Linux and force
the same in NetBSD (I don't know how to achieve this yet but imagine it will
be in the documentation somewhere).
If you're running FreeBSD, NetBSD settings won't help you much.
What I would apprciate is some advice as to best method to
troubleshoot this problem and correct it.
Well, the appropriate output from dmesg would help. It's possible
that it's an interrupt problem, but we haven't seen too many of them
lately. If you're showing up as wi0 (presumably), then probably it's
not an interrupt issue. Do you have the other settings set up
correctly? ifconfig output and information about your wireless
infrastructure would help.
