I have two orinoco wireless cards, each locates on a FreeBSD 4.7 box. The addresses are 10.10.10.10 and 10.10.10.12 separately with netmask 0xffffff00, thus the broadcast address is 10.10.10.255. At this point, one of them is set to "ibss-master", while the other is "ibss". Its used to work when I try broadcast ping by "ping 10.10.10.255", but today it is weird that it totally doesn't work at all. Is there anybody over there can help me with this? By the way, the firmware version is 8.72.01. Many thanks in advance. Cheers, ken
