Is there a dhcp command in FreeBSD 5.3? I know in Linux, there was a command "dhcpcd" that I had to use in order for my WiFi NIC to get all the information that it needed. Is there something similar to this? Thanks. (1 Reply)
All,
I am a bit of a BSD newbie and haven't really played with it for years, but I have had a recent situation whereby someone attempted to load a custom kernel module and ended up breaking my BSD server.
I managed to fix it by doing the following:

Hi!
I have a major issue with FreeBSD 7.1 i386.
We did a change in our Unix env where we exchanged home storage from a NetAPP running udp to a NetAPP running tcp.
Now I cant mount homedirs since NFS/AMD seem to fallback to udp :(
Trying to force it with amd options nfs_proto=tcp and so on.

ndis_events
NDIS_EVENTS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual NDIS_EVENTS(8)NAME
ndis_events -- relay events from ndis(4) drivers to wpa_supplicant(8)SYNOPSIS
ndis_events [-a] [-d] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
The ndis_events utility listens for events generated by an ndis(4) wireless network driver and relays them to wpa_supplicant(8) for possible
processing. The three event types that can occur are media connect and disconnect events, such as when a wireless interface joins or leaves
a network, and media-specific events. In particular, ndis(4) drivers that support WPA2 will generate media-specific events containing PMKID
candidate information which wpa_supplicant(8) needs in order to properly associate with WPA2-capable access points.
The ndis_events daemon works by listening for interface information events via a routing socket. When it detects an event that was generated
by an ndis(4) interface, it transmits it via UDP packet on the loopback interface, where wpa_supplicant(8) is presumably listening. The
standard wpa_supplicant(8) distribution includes its own version of this utility for use with Windows(R). The FreeBSD version performs the
same functions as the Windows(R) one, except that it uses an ioctl(2) and routing socket interface instead of WMI.
Note that a single instance of ndis_events is sufficient to scan for events for any number of ndis(4) interfaces in a system.
OPTIONS
The ndis_events daemon supports the following options:
-a Process all events. By default, ndis_events will only process and forward media-specific events, which contain PMKID candidate
information, and not bother forwarding connect and disconnect events, since wpa_supplicant(8) normally can determine the current link
state on its own. In some cases, the additional connect and disconnect events only confuse it and make the association and authenti-
cation process take longer.
-d Run in debug mode. This causes ndis_events to run in the foreground and generate any output to the standard error instead of using
the syslog(3) facility.
-v Run in verbose mode. This causes ndis_events to emit notifications when it receives events.

The ndis_events utility first appeared in FreeBSD 6.0.
