Newbie wirless install question

[Scott Miller]

It should get an address via DHCP. (I did not see where this was indicated
in ifconfig.)

ifconfig shows that wi0 is:

associated
SSID="Donner Pass" (this is correct)
wep is on, channel 1, and 128 bit key (all correct)

Thanks,

Scott

Heh, I'm wondering if you did the same thing I did. You set the WEP key, but
did you turn WEP on? ;)

Check your ifconfig. Are you getting an IP via DHCP, or is it statically
assigned? Does it say that your NIC is associated in ifconfig?

Gotta love FBSD ifconfig. Having wireless support in ifconfig saves quite a
bit of time. Didn't realize how much I liked it until I was forced to set up
linux on a laptop. :)
