It doesn't work this way here, But I think I know why, though I don't know how to fix, am an advanced user on Linux but I'm new and n00b on *BSD anyway on Linux I used the both available drivers ipw3945 and iwl3945 in both drivers rf_kill was getting the value 1 ( /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw3945/00*/rf_kill or /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipl3945/00*/rf_kill ) and 1 means the radio is off SoftKill 2 is HardKill (The hard switch we have on the laptop), maybe the wpi is getting a softkill though I couldn't find the rf_kill anyone knows where I might find it??

Regards

Hello,

I'm new to FreeBSD and I have a Toshiba Satellite A135-S4427 equipped with an Intel 3945ABG wireless card. I searched a bit and I added these to /boot/loader.conf ----CUT if_wpi_load="YES" wlan_load="YES" wlan_amrr_load="YES" firmware_load="YES" wpifw_load="YES" ----CUT

Now I have a wpi0 interface I tried doing ----CUT ifconfig wpi0 ssid eMxyzptlk wepkey "0xC1C731EA92AC05B1E7BA6186CF" ----CUT

but it doesn't associate with the AP all I see in ifconfig is ----CUT

Similar for me (on Samsung X22-Pro).

This works for me: ifconfig wpi0 up dhclient wpi0

Regards, Michael!
