I am attempting to get wireless working on FreeBSD 11.1 and not having much luck. Dmesg indicates it sees the USB wireless adapter; however, ifconfig and sysctl net.wlan.devices indicate nothing.



dmesg output



Realtek 802.11ac NIC
Atheros USB2.0 WLAN
Atheros UB94


I tried man ath - added the entries to /boot/loader.conf, rebooted, and nothing.



Are these devices not supported or is something else going on?



From what little I know, I do not believe this to be related to this: WiFi problems (Atheros driver) with FreeBSD 11



I do not even have /dev/ath0, if I did, I would be a little further along to getting wireless working.



The only thing I see is output in dmesg as listed.




wifi freebsd

    So you've added if_ath_load="YES" and if_ath_pci_load="YES" to loader.conf and sysctl net.wlan.devices still does not show any device, right?

  • 1. Why would I need if_ath_pci_load="YES" if it is a USB device? 2. The device isn't even showing up at all, so I need to sort that out.

            Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
