wifi support?

[Thuban]

Hello,
I would like to try freebsd, but I need to know if my wifi card will be
usable.
A lspci under debian returns : 
02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE
802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (rev 01)

Can you tell me where I can find if this card is supported or not?

Thank you.

wifi support

[Perica Veljanovski]

Hello,
I'm thinking of buying a Fujitsu-Siemens AMILO Pro V2020 laptop which 
has a Pentium M 725 (centrino) processor, Inter 855GME chipset with 
integrated Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Fast Ethernet LAN.

Since I'm not at all familiar with with the wi-fi technology and can't 
seem to find this particular wifi on 
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/hardware-i386.html#WLAN, I would 
like to ask you if I'm mistaking?

Does FreeBSD support this WLAN adapter? If not, is it going to be 
supported in near future?

thanks ahead!

Hi there,

According to this posting, it doesn't look like that card is supported
on FreeBSD yet:
http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/RTL8188CE-wireless-card-td5628611.html

Regards,
Greg

RealTek wifi support is nil in 9.x (I have a RealTek wireless and wired 
in my laptop and only the wired works). You'll have to use ndistulator 
to get RealTek wifi under FreeBSD (its how its done in Linux afaik).

How stable is FreeBSD WiFi support?

[Yuri]

I have FreeBSD-70 machine and Linux Gentoo machines side by side (within 
10 feet).
Gentoo Linux (with old AirLink101) connects to a particular encrypted 
WEP network without any problems all the time.
FreeBSD (with ral0 device and native driver) connection is very 
unstable, keeps disappearing, though network card shows signal level as 
-90:-95.
dhclient fails to set up the card, often dhclient succeeds but all name 
lookups fails. When internet connection is established all TCP 
connections get dropped after 10-20 minutes or less.


I feel like I hit some bug in FreeBSD WiFi networking support.

Anyone has similar experience?

Yeah I had similar troubles on a laptop with an intel wifi (6.1 + 6.2).
I posted something about a week or two back, but I didn't get any
response here. Not sure where to go from here though, as I'm having
similar troubles with the ral driver too (desktop- 6.3).

Seems to be wpa supplicant from my troubleshooting. If I manually
reassociated with the iwi it was ok, but didn't hold out- I was going to
setup a script to run a check and do this. The ral driver works if I set
it auto, but wpa supplicant will only work in manual mode. Catch 22 on
that one...

Have you tried the freebsd-stable and freebsd-hackers lists?  Supplicant
has been discussed there in the recent and late past.

Yeah I believe I checked stable at the time, but I'm not subscribed to
hackers so I wouldn't know about there. I'll check stable again now that
you mention it.
