can you show your wicontrol scripts? and the output of "ifconfig -a"?
and of "wicontrol -i wi0" and "wicontrol -i wi1".
tell me whether i have this wrong: you have 2 cards in one computer, at
you're trying to get them both to communicate with a card in a laptop
running in host mode?
are either of the cards associating? if you assign wi1 an IP, say:
ifconfig wi1 inet 192.168.20.222
can you then ping the ip?
