After another cvsup/make world on Sept 2, I can now get it working in ad-hoc mode, though the cvsup may not have been the reason. I set up both the OS X and FreeBSD boxes to ad-hoc mode. Pings from either machine resulted in a 'host down'. So I decided to try a tcpdump on the wi0 device, and suddenly the pings started working. Kill tcpdump, and the traffic stopped. So it seems to need to be in promiscuous mode in order to pass traffic. Hostap mode still does not work (at least the Mac does not see it as a base station). I know people are using the WMP11 card as a base station under FreeBSD. If you're one of them, I'd like to know what firmware version your card has. Here's my 'dmesg | grep ^wi0' again: wi0: mem 0xf6aff000-0xf6afffff irq 9 at device 8.0 on pci1 wi0: 802.11 address: 00:06:25:09:59:d1 wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI) wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.01.00, Station 1.04.02 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
