Hello Jeff Thanks for your repply
yes I noticed that and I tried what you suggested as well before but nada
I tried a couple of things that may give somebody clues of what is going on
1. I use the sysintall utility and went to configure-networking-interfaces and noted the following regarding my interfaces:
ndis0 <unknown network interface type>
rl0 RealTek 8129/8139 PCI ethernet card (this is the ethernet that I am using rigth now)
so the kernel on boot recognices the hardware but seems like later does not have a clue about it.
Is there a config file where I should specify this?
2. I tried what jeff sugested in the following manner
typig from root:
Pavilion# ifconfig ndis0 inet 192.168.1.5/24
Pavilion# dhclient ndis0
DHCPDISCOVER on ndis0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6
DHCPDISCOVER on ndis0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
DHCPDISCOVER on ndis0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 21
DHCPDISCOVER on ndis0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14
DHCPDISCOVER on ndis0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10
No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
##### This seems to be common theme all the time, I get the same thing ##### during boot process
##### Later I tried:
Pavilion# ifconfig ndis0 up scan
SSID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS
BELL455 00:1b:5b:6b:04:31 11 54M 139:0 100 EP ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

isaac 00:1c:10:24:c9:f6 6 54M 115:0 100 EP ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? VEN WPA
Pavilion# ifconfig ndis0
ndis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255
ether 00:90:4b:f3:6e:44
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect
status: no carrier
ssid "" channel 1
authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 bmiss 7 protmode CTS
##### Later I tried a manual connection
Pavilion# wpa_supplicant -i ndis0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Trying to associate with 00:13:46:cd:8e:9a (SSID='LFnet' freq=2437 MHz)
WPA: Key negotiation completed with 00:13:46:cd:8e:9a [PTK=TKIP GTK=TKIP]
CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:00:00:00:00:00 completed (auth)
##### here the terminal just hangs and noting happens, have to hit ^+C to terminate
#### although while this was happening I open another window and run ####ifconfig ndis0 to see the status of the device
$ ifconfig ndis0
ndis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255
ether 00:90:4b:f3:6e:44
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/54Mbps)
status: associated
ssid LFnet channel 6 bssid 00:13:46:cd:8e:9a
authmode WPA privacy OFF TKIP 2:128-bit txpowmax 100 bmiss 7
protmode CTS
#### so the darn thing is getting connected but again no transfer of information. Something that puzzle me is that the inet and the broadcast were reset
does this give any additional clues of what may be the problem?
I have a question about this: should I be telling freebsd wich interface should be use? rl0 is up and running at the same time will it conflict with ndis0?
Thanks
Luis
