<div dir="ltr">Hello Ian, list!<br><br>thanks for reply!<br><br>ad iwi:<br>I have got a "home" wireless network, which i don't encode - I just set the mac-based authentication at the AP (I live in conuntry - but now I'm getting a bit woried ;). Thus the ifconfig output seems reasonable to me - I just don't understand the <i>no carier</i> message. The AP provides both DNS and DHCP services. I'll check my /etc/rc.conf file.<br>
<br>ad hostname:<br>it's just that till now every system I've ever installed wanted to know its hostname during the installation - no problem setting it "manualy", though<br><br>ad synaptics:<br>perhaps you could post your <i>input device xorg.conf entry</i>, the tapping seems to trigger the "right" mouse button for me...<br>
<br>I'm still woried about the graphics - any chance somebody here has got the same chipset (i852/855) I have got?<br><br>thanks&regards,<br>milan<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/9/17 Ian Robinson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fitchkendall@gmail.com">fitchkendall@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

Reply: I have an a Acer Travelmate 4001 laptop. Specs include a P4 @<br>
1.5 GHz, Intel Centrino chipset, Synaptic touch pad and intel wireless<br>
"iwi" and I am running PCBSD 7.0 Final (15 Sep 2008).<br>
<br>
1. My Synaptic touch pad is fully functional under PCBSD 7.0 and<br>
accepts single and double tapping to anchor the cursor, select a<br>
choice, or open a file or program.<br>
<br>
2. My iwi functions very well. Here is the output from ifconfig for<br>
my working iwi0:<br>
<br>
iwi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500<br>
ether ##:##:##:##:##:##<br>
inet <a href="http://192.168.2.5" target="_blank">192.168.2.5</a> netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast <a href="http://192.168.2.255" target="_blank">192.168.2.255</a><br>
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/54Mbps)<br>
status: associated<br>
ssid W2a8u6g4h4 channel 1 (2412 Mhz 11g) bssid 00:11:50:21:d9:cc<br>
authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:40-bit bmiss 10<br>
scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi11g 7<br>
roam:rate11g 5 protmode CTS roaming MANUAL<br>
<br>
When our outputs are compared and contrasted, you do not show the<br>
"inet" containing IP, netmask, and broadcast. For example, inet<br>
<a href="http://192.168.2.5" target="_blank">192.168.2.5</a> netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast <a href="http://192.168.2.255" target="_blank">192.168.2.255</a>. I also note<br>
that your configuration does not report a security key. For example,<br>
my configuration includes "deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:40-bit" Perhaps the<br>
absence of any of these results explains why you are getting a "no<br>
carrier" message.<br>
<br>
Did you select DHCP or alternatively input the gateway IP, netmask,<br>
and laptop IP? Did you configure security with a key code? Does the<br>
wireless connect if you input the critical components with ifconfig?<br>
For example, this configures my wireless:<br>
<br>
ifconfig iwi0 inet <a href="http://192.168.2.20" target="_blank">192.168.2.20</a> netmask 0xffffff00 ssid W2a8u6g4h4<br>
wepmode on wepkey 0x0102030405 weptxkey 1<br>
<br>
3. Changing the hostname:<br>
<br>
At the end of the file /etc/rc.conf are a group of network<br>
configuration settings:<br>
<br>
hostname="pcbsd"<br>
ifconfig_bfe0="DHCP"<br>
ifconfig_iwi0="WPA DHCP"<br>
<br>
You can open this file as root and edit it to replace "pcbsd" with the<br>
host name you want. You can edit from a terminal:<br>
<br>
%su<br>
Password: <type in password> <Enter><br>
ee /etc/rc.conf<br>
<br>
You can use Start > Applications > System > File Manager Administrator<br>
<br>
then navigate to /etc/rc.conf, right click and open with Kwrite to<br>
make the edit with a GUI.<br>
