Hi all,
I've just tried to build an ad hoc wireless network between two
OpenBSD machines (3.7, Generic Kernel) for the first time (while using 2
Linksys WUSB11 802.11b v2.8 adapters) and i've encountered difficulties
to configure the network. As i'm far from being a wireless network
expert i've read the atu driver man to set up the network :
# ifconfig atu0
atu0: flags=8802<BROADCAST, SIMPLEX, MULTICAST> mtu 1500
address: 00:0c:41:58:ed:c1
ieee80211: nwid ""
media: IEEE802.11 autoselect
status: no network
# ifconfig atu0 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid foo mediaopt ibss
# ifconfig atu0
atu0: flags=8843<UP, BROADCAST, RUNNING, SIMPLEX, MULTICAST> mtu 1500
address: 00:0c:41:58:ed:c1
ieee80211: nwid foo chan 1 bssid 02:0c:41:58:ed:c1
media: IEEE802.11 autoselect ibss
status: active
inet: 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
inet6: fe80::20c::41ff:fe58:edc1%atu0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6
I've done the same thing on each machine (192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2),
network seems ok (status: active) but the machines can't reach each
other (pf inactive).
Any idea about what's wrong with my network configuration ?
Thanks in advance.
Yannick.
