How to connect to wifi

[Csaba]

The machine does not accept the wifi password. I'm in live mode and bought a supported wifi card. The Wi-Fi connection to the Internet appears in the upper right corner. I select my connection and enter the password, but ghost bsd won't accept it!
It says:
authentication failed.
Why?

Hi. Can you please take a photo of the output of the command

cat /etc/rc.conf

There should be a couple of lines similar to

wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

Also what is your wireless card?

[Csaba]

Hi!
Unfortunately I could not save to the data partition because it is ntfs and the pendrive as well.
So l typed the command output.
Here it is:

zfs_enable="YES"
kld_list="linux linux64 cuse fusefs/boot/modules/i915kms.ko"
linux_enable="YES"
ntpd_enable="YES"
ntpd_sync_on_start="YES"
devfs_enable="YES"
devfs_system_ruleset="devfsrules_common"
dbus_enable="YES"
lightdm_enable="NO"
webcamd_enable="YES"
cups_enable="YES"
avahi_daemon_enable="YES"
avahi_dusconfd_enable="YES"
hostname="livecd"
moused_aneble="YES"
ipfw_enable="YES"
firewall_enable="YES"
ifconfig_em0="DHCP"
wlans_rtawn0="wlan0"
ifconfig_when0="WPA DHCP"

My wifi card is DWA-131 Wireless N Nano USB adapter.

The Rtwn driver for that card based on rtl8188eu realtek chip has that problem of not working in Freebsd / GhostBSD..
What USB IDs do you have for your D-Link DWA-131_Revision E1 2001 3319

Code: Select all

usbconfig list
usbconfig -d ugenX.Y dump_device_desc

TP-link TLWN823N has same problem.

TP-link TLWN823N has same problem.
Find a different usb wifi dongle, TLWN725N works.
Most older realtek usb wifi devices work. Some of newer 8821ce devices not supported yet by freebsd. AX200 and ax201 are supported.

Yes, I realize this is for linux and not applicable to the FreeBSD driver. So this might be extraneous knowledge. I have read the freebsd source code driver and read the linux source code driver too.

According to https://bsd-hardware.info/ and https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.0R/hardware/
bsd handle this card!

Thanks for the quick response. I've only tried this in live mode, but I think I should install bsd?

I've had problems in live mode with GhostBSD and after install everything was fine
Please give GhostBSD a try. Please ask questions here if you get stuck or try our telegram channel.
