--XsQoSWH+UP9D9v3l Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi all. I posted quite a while back about some problems I was having with firmware v1.4.9. So, tonight I decided to try other versions. Using my windows machine (which also dual boots FreeBSD), I upgraded the card to 1.8.2. It worked fine in windows, and also in FreeBSD on that machine. I then put the card back in the server. This time, however, status was always "no carrier," and with hw.wi.debug=3D1, it would always go from state "INIT -> INIT." Now for the very weird part: if I ran dstumbler with the -o option, the link light turned on, it displayed "INIT -> RUN", and it saw my AP, but I still could not connect. Upon quitting dstumbler, status went back to INIT. If I put the card in monitor or hostap mode, it goes to RUN but I obviously cannot do anything since this is a BSS network. This same thing happens on 1.5.6 and 1.7.4. I am currently using 1.3.4, which I had ok luck with before I went to 1.4.9. I'm stumped. Maybe you aren't. -Dan --=20 Dan Ponte http://www.theamigan.net/ All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies. -- The Book of Bokonon / Kurt Vonnegut Jr. --XsQoSWH+UP9D9v3l Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCplhJ8dUD8SpKFR8RAsQgAJ9jiilVaeN5yHy9Pc6rwyEDJZO3bwCdE72G 3xcdf/wYjGAvNO2AiavNPu0= =HkkL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --XsQoSWH+UP9D9v3l--
