It's my first time here so please be gentle.
I'm coming from Linux world and it's also my first time in BSD world.
I've used Lubuntu previously on this PC and managed to get the Wireless adapter working but I've found that here on BSD it's quite more difficult.
I've managed to install bwm module following every step on FreeBSD docs and the system recognizes the Wireless adapter and shows it as bwn0:
Code: Select all
bwn0: flags=8803<UP,BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290
ether 00:24:2c:0e:c5:8a
nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11b
status: associated
Code: Select all
sudo ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev bwn0
Code: Select all
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
Code: Select all
sudo ifconfig wlan0 list scan
Here are the contents of /etc/rc.conf and /boot/loader.conf:
