>Description:
Can't get working ipw(4) association in adhoc mode with FreeBSD's ipw. Before,
I'vi been using ipw-1.7.1 from damien's site but can't use it now because API
change.
>How-To-Repeat:
# kldload if_ipw
# ifconfig ipw0 name wifi0
# ipwcontrol -i wifi0 -f /usr/local/share/ipw-firmware/ipw2100-1.3-i.fw
# ifconfig wifi0
wifi0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:04:23:a0:55:1f
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect)
status: no carrier
ssid "" channel 1
authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100
# ifconfig wifi0 mediaopt adhoc ssid betty up
# ifconfig wifi0
wifi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:04:23:a0:55:1f
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect <adhoc> (autoselect <ibss>)
status: associated
ssid "" channel 2
authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100
As you see SSID is "". But
# ifconfig wifi0 ssid betty scan
SSID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS
betty 2e:83:12:9a:21:a1 2 11M 58:0 100 I
# ifconfig wifi0 down
# ifconfig wifi0
wifi0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:04:23:a0:55:1f
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect <adhoc> (autoselect <ibss>)
status: no carrier
ssid betty channel 2
authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100
>Fix:
Please, take a look to ipw-1.7.1. For example, this is for ipw-1.7.1 on CURRENT from Fri Jun 10 21:52:01 MSD 2005:
# ifconfig wifi0
wifi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
ether 00:04:23:a0:55:1f
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect <adhoc> (autoselect <ibss>)
status: associated
ssid betty channel 1 bssid 5a:80:44:bb:91:1c
authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 rtsthreshold 2312
