I acquired an old dell laptop a couple of weeks ago which I went ahead
and put OpenBSD on it. I had everything installed and running fine,
and turned to a local available hot-spot with no wep and began
downloading various packages from ftp without issue via a usb 2.0 asus
wl-167g on top of a generic usb 2.0 pcmcia card.
Then I take the laptop home where I have an older openbsd 4.2 pc
serving as my firewall and wireless access point with WEP using the
ral driver. I plugged away on the laptop hard trying to get internet
access through my access point but without success.
I know the access point is configured via pf correctly because my son
is using his ds/psp on it without issue to access the internet/games
from various locations around the house.
Then I stuck on the handy but absolutely no range no-name zydas
wireless adapter and, when I was in the room where the access point
was located I had internet access through my access point. You will
see however at the end of the dmesg that zydas adapter seems to have a
problem of it's own.
I wish I had kept it (and of course being the [l]user I am I didn't),
but from the access point I was doing a tcpdump when I had the
dhclient requesting an ip address via the rum0 driver. It looked to me
that the access point could see the request and attempted to send the
laptop an ip address, but for whatever reason the rum driver wasn't
picking up the response.
Thanks team! Keep up the good work!
