Problem with Wireless Connection

[anarcotux]

Hi, i'm new in GhostBSD and I install GhostBSD 3.1 LXDE on my netbook Asus Eeepc 1015BX, I try to connect on my Wireless Network called TP-LINK_AT but I see on WiFi Network Manager that the system connects to other not protected networks...

I try to edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf with this information:

network={
ssid="TP-LINK_AT"
bssid=mymacaddress
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
psk="mywpapassword"
}

but the problem is same... GhostBSD connects to other not protected networks... How can i do???
Thanx a lot ^^

Try re booting to see (if) the changes work.

If not you may need to load a driver or some firmware.

I rebooted sevetal times... I always have the same problem... GhostBSD connects to other not protected WiFi network... It doesn't connect to my personal WiFi network (TP-LINK_AT)...

When I open the WiFi Network Manager there is an alert that says:
Network SSID TP-LINK_AT has changed security method. Udpate that entry and re-save.

But the security method of my network in GhostBSD is set to WPA-PSK... If i see on my router configuration on the page 192.168.1.1 I see that the enctryption method is WPA2-PSK with TKIP/AES...

Where is the problem??? I don't understand...

It can be some reasons. But I think that problem is on your AP or Router. Try to "downgrade" the security of it or maybe change the signal, maybe is set to "hide".
If your GhostBSD see your WiFi connection it should connect. Did you try with another connection to see if it connects?

Did you also do this?

in /boot/loader.conf add:

Code: Select all

if_urtw_load="YES"
wlan_wep_load = “YES”
wlan_tkip_load = “YES”
wlan_ccmp_load = “YES”

Modify /etc/rc.conf to create wlan0 and connect:

Code: Select all

wlans_urtw0="wlan0" #or wlans_ath0=“wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP" #or ifconfig_wlan0 = “DHCP WPA”

Do not forget to reboot after doing changes.
Take note that you need to choose, do not put "#or+line" on rc.conf

That is not a drivers issue for sure. You might look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/net ... eless.html.

yess surely is not a driver issue... yesterday i try to install the new beta version of GhostBSD, I install the 3.5 version XFCE4, and my wireless card doesn't work... in ghostbsd 3.5 there is a driver issue, but in ghostbsd 3.1 no... in ghostbsd 3.1 my wireless card works... i think that is an encryption problem, i see that RSN is same to WPA2, maybe is this the issue??? Later i reinstall the 3.1 version of ghostbsd on my netbook and i will follow the recommendation of adripillo12... In a couple of hours i will update you, thanx a lot for the help!!! i like very much ghostbsd!!!

in /boot/loader.conf add:

wlan_wep_load = “YES”
wlan_tkip_load = “YES”
wlan_ccmp_load = “YES”

Do not forget to reboot after doing changes.
Take note that you need to choose, do not put "#or+line" on rc.conf

the file /boot/loader.conf is empty and i add the code that you say:

Code: Select all

if_urtw_load="YES"
wlan_wep_load = “YES”
wlan_tkip_load = “YES”
wlan_ccmp_load = “YES”

and this is the content of /etc/rc.conf

Code: Select all

#
# See /etc/defaults/rc.conf to add more option.
# Do not configure /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
# Configure only this file.
#


# Power saver.
powerd_enable="YES"
powerd_flags="-a adp -b adp"

# DEVFS rules
devfs_system_ruleset="system"

# All LXDE need. 
cupsd_enable="YES"
gdm_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
linux_enable="YES"

vboxguest_enable="YES"
vboxservice_enable="YES"

#Wncc boot WiFi and netork card configuration.
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
ifconfig_alc0="DHCP"
gdm_lang="it_IT.UTF-8"
keymap="it.iso"
# Auto-Enabled NICs from pc-sysinstall
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP"
ifconfig_alc0="DHCP"
hostname="ATBSD-Netbook"

just a moment, i try to reboot now... I can only answer here on the forum by the ethernet connection...

OK, after reboot I have the same problem... GhostBSD connects to another not protected network... now I'm connected by wireless connection by a not protected network... I don't understand where is the problem...

Hi anarcotux,

Past this on your /etc/rc.conf this should help you.

Code: Select all

#
# See /etc/defaults/rc.conf to add more option.
# Do not configure /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
# Configure only this file.
#


# Power saver.
powerd_enable="YES"
powerd_flags="-a adp -b adp"

# DEVFS rules
devfs_system_ruleset="system"

# All LXDE need.
cupsd_enable="YES"
gdm_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
linux_enable="YES"

vboxguest_enable="YES"
vboxservice_enable="YES"

#Wncc boot WiFi and netork card configuration.
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
ifconfig_alc0="DHCP"
gdm_lang="it_IT.UTF-8"
keymap="it.iso"

The last 5 line made by pc-sysinstall might cause the problem and wncc is way better then pc-sysinstall to configuring network cards.

in 3.0 and 3.1 i have forgot to remove the installer code to set network card drivers.

[anarcotux]

should i post the hostname line at the end of file in /etc/rc.conf ???

Code: Select all

hostname="ATBSD-Netbook"

now I try to modify the rc.conf file!!! thanx for the help ^^
I had to format for too many experiments...
after pasting the changes to rc.conf, there are always the same problems ...
