Running wireless command on boot

RoiSoleil14 · 03-04-2006, 08:39 PM

Hi, I finally got my wireless working with FreeBSD

However I have so far just typed these commands in konsole after loggin in. How do I make all of these commands run on start?

Code:

1)kldload wlan_wep
2)ifconfig ural0 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid xxxxxxxx wepmode on wepkey 0x[WEP] weptxkey 1
3)dhclient ural0

Thanks a lot.

Put "kldload wlan_wep" in /boot/loader.conf. The ifconfig line can go in /etc/rc.conf e.g

Code:

ifconfig_ural0="netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid xxxxxxxx wepmode on wepkey 0x[WEP] weptxkey1"

I am not so sure about the dhclient part. DHCP is usually enabled by doing "dhcp_enable=YES" or by doing "ifconfig_ural0="DHCP" in /etc/rc.conf.

yeah, i got it working with the following :

in /boot/loader.conf

Code:

 wlan_wep_load="YES"

in /etc/rc.conf

Code:

 ifconfig_ural0="DHCP netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid xxxxxxxx wepmode on wepkey 0x[WEP] weptxkey 1"

thanks for help
