Re: Dlink-g520 Wireless and WEP more
Here's what I got: This is my ifconfig for this device ath0 before executing a new ifconfig command: pluto# ifconfig ath0 ath0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::20f:3dff:fea9:3645%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 ether 00:0f:3d:a9:36:45 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps) status: associated ssid 1: channel 5 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:40-bit See it says it's associated and has picked up a channel, but no IP! pluto# ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.2.180 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid wepmode on weptxkey 1:0x123456789 ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists So I gave that command a shot and still looks like an issue. very strange. I've turned the ath0 interface up and back down again several times, any thoughts on why this card can't pull an IP? Note: I'm running MAC Address control on the Wireless router I'm using and ath0 is in there and allowed. Also, I've set the router to use 40 bit WEP encryption and open authentication. I'm not sure this card does 128 bit or if FreeBSD does. any where else I might check for problems? --- Daan Vreeken [PA4DAN] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tuesday 26 October 2004 03:47, scott renna wrote: So I am still having a go at getting this Dlink card to work here's what i got: pluto# ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.2.180 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid wepmode on authmode open wepkey 0x1234567890 ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument Try changing : wepkey 0x1234567890 into : weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:0x1234567890 Which tells the device to use key 1, and then specifies key 1.

Re: Dlink-g520 Wireless and WEP more
ok, well this system has a 3com, xl0 holding an ip of 192.168.2.150 Does this mean that I need to have each interface having an IP on a different subnet? maybe I could change the mask on the xl0 to 255.255.248.0 and it might work? I wanted to have the wireless card on the same subnet as the rest of the LAN and keep the wired card up and running just for testing before permanently migrating to this wireless card(i'm using encrypted protocols locally so wep weaknesses should not be an issue). is there a way to have both cards be on the same subnet and have the same subnet mask? --- Daan Vreeken [PA4DAN] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tuesday 26 October 2004 15:59, you wrote: Here's what I got: This is my ifconfig for this device ath0 before executing a new ifconfig command: pluto# ifconfig ath0 ath0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::20f:3dff:fea9:3645%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 ether 00:0f:3d:a9:36:45 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps) status: associated ssid 1: channel 5 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:40-bit See it says it's associated and has picked up a channel, but no IP! pluto# ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.2.180 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid wepmode on weptxkey 1:0x123456789 ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists ifconfig says this if you already have another interface with an ip-address in the same range.

Re: Dlink-g520 Wireless and WEP more
oh man...ok that's what i was afraid of. i've always wondered why you can't have two nics on the same subnet in freebsd, maybe i'm just missing something or is that by design? I guess i'll drop the wired line and switch to wireless tonight and give it a shot. would aliasing one card to the next work, or is there any particular reason why you can't have two ips from the same subnet on a bsd box? --- Daan Vreeken [PA4DAN] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tuesday 26 October 2004 17:38, scott renna wrote: ok, well this system has a 3com, xl0 holding an ip of 192.168.2.150 Does this mean that I need to have each interface having an IP on a different subnet? maybe I could change the mask on the xl0 to 255.255.248.0 and it might work?

Re: Dlink-g520 Wireless and WEP more
SUCCESS...at least at 40-bit WEP, which is good enough, it's not like getting up higher will make that much of a difference. Thanks for the tips, still puzzled why two cards in the same system can't be on the same subnet. thanks for the help. --- Daan Vreeken [PA4DAN] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tuesday 26 October 2004 17:38, scott renna wrote: ok, well this system has a 3com, xl0 holding an ip of 192.168.2.150 Does this mean that I need to have each interface having an IP on a different subnet? maybe I could change the mask on the xl0 to 255.255.248.0 and it might work?

Adding the following to the configuration line: authmode shared #(or 'authmode open', depending on how you have your network setup) 2. Check to see if you're also configuring this device in other places (rc.conf, for example). 3. Try clearing the configuration using 'ifconfig ath0 remove' prior to configuring the interface. 4. As a troubleshooting step, see if 40 bit encryption works. Don't forget to change the access point (or other computer/router) as well.
