Hi there misc! I'm having trouble connecting to my router. Any help would be appreciated.
I can get athn0 to "link", but then it sends a dozen DHCPREQUESTs, and then sends DHCPDISCOVERs until it sleeps... I've never had this problem before. Last time I switch routers, I just changed nwid, and wpakey with ifconfig, then ran dhclient for athn0 and it worked. This time i've tried setting chan, bssid, nwid, nwkey, wpakey, and wpaakms. I've et these parameters with ifconfig, and also entered into my /etc/hostname.athn0 file I've also tried entering (into the /etc/hostname.athn0 file) "dhcp" and "dhcp NONE NONE NONE" before any parameters. Usually, the anth0 won't link, just sleeps. But sometimes I can get it to send some DHCPREQUESTs and DHCPDISCOVERs before sleeping... >_< Um...I haven't changed much. Just edited the /etc/pf.conf file (just delete all blank lines and comments to make it smaller :P) and did whatever afterboot said, oh and also right at the end of /etc/netstart I added "ifconfig athn0 lladdr random" to randomize my MAC on each boot. Sometimes I try running /etc/netstart athn0 instead of dhclient athn0. Oh, and also I edited /etc/dhclient.conf a little, just to make it try longer before going to sleep, but doesn't help. Anyone have any ideas??? I'm totally stuck! (reading RFC 2131 right now...) Here's my /etc/hostname.athn0 file: -wol group egress chan 11 bssid ****** nwid ****** nwkey ****** wpakey ****** wpaakms pks dhcp NONE NONE NONE And here is ifconfig athn0: athn0 flag=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr: ****** priority: 4 groups: wlan egress media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (DS1 mode 11g) Status: no network And when I scan (sudo ifconfig athn0 scan) I get something like this (forgot to write down so from memory): ieee80211: nwid ****** chan 11 bssid ****** 3dB 54MB privacy, short_preamble, short_slottime wpakey <not displayed> wpaprotos wpa1, wpa2 wpakms psk wpaciphers tkip, ccmp wpagroupcipher tkip inet ****** prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 Um...when I looked at the router (It's a D-LINK connected to a Telus DSL box) there is a sticky note on it that says "Wireless: NO DHCP"...but everyone else is using wireless internet... Also , when I scan for networks, not only does the network name appear, but so does a DLINK and a TELUS network. MAIN PROBLEM: Athn0 won't link...1/10 times it will it seems, after I fiddle with it... I have a feeling this is a simple config file problem, but I'm just not used to editing conf files. Am I going about this the right way? (i.e. editing /etc/dhclient.conf, pf.conf, /etc/hostname.athn0, /etc/myname, and running /etc/netstart, ifconfig, and dhclient?)???? Thanks in advance!!! P.S. using openbsd 5.2, running on a toshiba netbook. -- View this message in context: http://openbsd.7691.n7.nabble.com/Athn0-won-t-link-with-new-router-tp222408.html Sent from the openbsd user - misc mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
