Hello misc@,
I finally decided to send a mail here because I'm despairing with my
wireless network since I upgraded to the latest snapshot.
I simply try to connect to a 802.11b network using a Lucent Orinoco.
For testing purposes I even got over my paranoia for a couple of minutes
and tested without WEP ( and vpn), I even deactivated pf ( don't ask me what it
could have to do with the card not associating, just to make sure).
The router is a "SMC Barricade g Wireless Router 2.4GHz 54 Mbps Wireless
Cable/DSL"
As wireless Option I activated "Long Range Mixed 11b + 11g";
Just as a hint there is no problem to connect to it with the same
machine's "Atheros AR5212 (IBM MiniPCI)" via 802.11b
I have spent the last couple of hours reading this:
wi
wicontrol
ifconfig
hostname.if
route ( not directly related )
arp
The first problem I experienced:
--------------------------------
# ifconfig wi0 chan 10
ifconfig: SIOCS80211CHANNEL: Invalid argument
Here is my hostname.wi0:
------------------------
!/sbin/wicontrol \$if -f 10

OT: For the people that read this far:
Why can't I use 11g mode ( better said why does it not WORK ) with my IBM
Wireless Card (mentioned above).
Point me in any direction, please this bugs me because I can't find the
problem.
Regards,
ahb
