Has anyone gotten this combination working? Here's my setup, and a description of my problems:
* Router - IP address 192.168.1.1 * AirPort base station - IP address 192.168.1.100 - transparent bridging, no encryption, gateway == router * Laptop - Internal AirPort card - IP address 192.168.1.12, gateway == router * 2.4.6 benh kernel, airport/orinoco/hermes modules To get things "working" I use: # modprobe airport # ifup eth1 # iwconfig eth1 mode managed So at this point it should be like my laptop is on the local area network, right? And if I ping other machines on the network and check their ARP caches, the laptop does show up. I see activity lights on the base station when I try to ping other machines, but I get 100% packet loss. iwconfig eth1 shows link quality 57/92, signal level -41 dBm, noise level -98 dBm. The base station is five feet away. tcpdump on the target machine shows dozens of arp who-has and arp is-at messages generated by the laptop and the target machine respectively, and nothing else. The laptop's ARP cache shows <incomplete> for the ethernet hardware address of the machine(s) I'm trying to ping. What am I doing wrong? -Jeremy
