Hello.
I have an Atheros PCI card in my firewall/gateway machine.
It seems fully configured because the clients see a good strong signal
but I can't get a dhcp lease from it. I'm not bothering with WEP just yet.
I followed the instructions found here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html
I ran these commands:
sysctl net.link.ether.bridge.enable=1
sysctl net.link.ether.bridge.config="wi0,vr0"
sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
The ath0 is bridged with the vr0 which is the internal NIC.
dhcpd is running on vr0. I have the following in my ipf.conf:
pass in quick on ath0 from any to any
pass out quick on ath0 from any to any
un /root# wicontrol ath0
