Full Discussion: FreeBSD Wireless - Can do WPA but not WEP or even open
Operating Systems BSD FreeBSD Wireless - Can do WPA but not WEP or even open Post 302227232 by kpedersen on Wednesday 20th of August 2008 10:56:26 PM

I add the line to enable WEP into /boot/loader.conf

Code:
wlan_wep_load="YES"

I think the problem im having is simply due to using ifconfig wrong because I cannot connect to an open network either. Only WPA lol

this is what i do for open wireless...

in /etc/rc.conf i add

Code:
ifconfig_wifi0="DHCP"

in console I do

Code:
ifconfig wifi0 down
ifconfig wifi0 bssid 00:xx:xx:xx:xx
ifconfig wifi0 up

/etc/rc.d/netif start

and it doesn't do a whole lot. Is this the right process? This is what I worked out from reading the FreeBSD Handbook many many times lol

NAME

       README.freebsd - Perl version 5 on FreeBSD systems

DESCRIPTION

       This document describes various features of FreeBSD that will affect how Perl version 5 (hereafter just Perl) is compiled and/or runs.

       FreeBSD core dumps from readdir_r with ithreads

       When perl is configured to use ithreads, it will use re-entrant library calls in preference to non-re-entrant versions.	There is a bug in
       FreeBSD's "readdir_r" function in versions 4.5 and earlier that can cause a SEGV when reading large directories. A patch for FreeBSD libc
       is available (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=misc/30631 ) which has been integrated into FreeBSD 4.6.

       $^X doesn't always contain a full path in FreeBSD

       perl 5.8.0 sets $^X where possible to a full path by asking the operating system. On FreeBSD the full path of the perl interpreter is found
       by reading the symlink /proc/curproc/file. There is a bug on FreeBSD, where the result of reading this symlink is can be wrong in certain
       circumstances (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=35703 ).  In these cases perl will fall back to the old behaviour of using
       C's argv[0] value for $^X.

       Perl will no longer be part of "base FreeBSD"

       Not as bad as it sounds--what this means is that Perl will no longer be part of the kernel build system of FreeBSD.  Perl will still very
       probably be part of the "default install", and in any case the latest version will be in the ports system.  The first FreeBSD version this
       change will affect is 5.0, all 4.n versions will keep the status quo.
