ASUS WL-167G config (was ural driver, Belkin F5D7050 USB not working)...

[Rakesh Prajapati]

FYI 

My Asus WL-167G wireless adapter works out of the box without any settings when I installed FreeBSD 6.1 RELEASE. The installer recognized it and I was  able to configure it through DHCP effortlessly. Maybe it would have worked in 6.0 If I did a fresh install or tried sysinstall.


FreeBSD 6.1 ROCKS!!!!

Rakesh,

You may have this sorted by now, but just in case...

The good news is that you have the ural0 device, so now it's just a matter of configuration.

Without encryption the only other thing I needed to specify to ifconfig was the channel (check the settings on your router for the channel number):

eg. ifconfig ural0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid DRAGON channel 1

and I was on the network.

If that doesn't work, check the settings on your router - have you added the MAC address to the filter list, and are you sure WEP/WPA is turned off, are you in range of the router?

Take a look at this article for info on wireless setup:

Let me know how you get on.

By the way, most people would probably prefer you not to email in HTML - you're likely to get a quicker (or any) response if you don't - and copy the list into your replies.
