It has an Intersil PRISM3 PCI card that works fine under linux. According to the wi(4) manpage, this card appears to be supported. Its interface doesn't show up in the output of ifconfig, however. My dmesg follows, but from this excerpt is appears that I'm having some irq problems: wi0 at pci2 dev 2 function 0 Intersil PRISM3 rev 0x01pci_intr_map: no mapping for pin A : couldn't map interrupt Sony hardware tends to be rather quirky/broken in my experience.

Wireless trouble
Hi list :) I have OpenBSD 3.8 on a PowerBook G4, an Avaya wireless card (wi0) and my AP. My problem is when I active the WEP in the AP (WEP-Open), my wireless lost connection.

My problem is when I active the WEP in the AP (WEP-Open), my wireless lost connection. This my card configuration: wicontrol -e 1 -k abcde123456 -t 6 -n MyName -p1 -f 6 [... snip ...] Never used wicontrol ... but you can do the same thing using ifconfig. In this case it would be: /sbin/ifconfig wi0 chan 6 media autoselect mode 11b nwid MyName \ nwkey persist:abcde123456 You can even put this in your /etc/hostname.wi0 file (writing ! before ifconfig) and replace wi0 with $if. E.g. inet 172.16.211.1 255.255.255.0 NONE !ifconfig $if chan 6 media autoselect mode 11b nwid MyName nwkey persist:abcde123456 Then it should be set on boot time. Hope that helps, Andreas. P.S.: See man ifconfig and get the list of supported modes running ifconfig -m wi0 -- Hobbes : Shouldn't we read the instructions? Calvin : Do I look like a sissy?

ral0 wireless trouble
Hello Group, I've seen a lot of emails about wireless... and now I'm adding to it :-). I've got a WAP running OpenBSD 3.7 configured as follows: # cat /etc/hostname.wi0 !/sbin/wicontrol \$if -f 11 -x 1 -E 3 inet 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0 NONE nwid mywap \ nwkey secretpass mediaopt hostap I've already got my linux laptop working with this AP, and tonight I went out and got a card for my OpenBSD laptop :-). I'm able to see the WAP when I wicontrol -L. Am I correct to assume that this means the card (Belkin F5D7010) is properly supported? I've tried the following to configure the card and I am still not able to ping the WAP: ifconfig ral0 192.168.10.23 netmask 255.255.255.0 nwid mywap chan 11 nwkey secretpass Then on the WAP I check the associated stations wicontrol -l : # wicontrol -l 2 stations: 00:11:50:15:4e:29 asid=01b0, flags=3AUTH,ASSOC, caps=11ESS,PRIVACY, rates=f1M,2M,5.5M,11M 00:0e:35:eb:c8:8f asid=00d0, flags=3AUTH,ASSOC, caps=11ESS,PRIVACY, rates=f1M,2M,5.5M,11M, sig=33/7 The top one 00:11:50:15:4e:29 is the OpenBSD laptop... it looks connected to me, but I noticed it doesn't have the sig=33/7 message. Can anyone offer me some advice? Thanks again, Brandon

I've got a WAP running OpenBSD 3.7 configured as follows: Please disregard transposed the key! Brandon P.S. I love an OS that you can plug in the supported hardware and it just works. You can't do that on anything but OpenBSD. Linux and their modules I feel like I've got to be some kernel guru every time I change a network card or what not. Windows... well, I stopped using it but I think I remember it requiring a CD or floppy or something every time I added hardware and then I had to reboot and maybe get some crashes and stuff. The OpenBSD team is doing a GREAT job! I'm hooked :-).
