Machine A is a Dell laptop running Windows XP with a Dell-badged Orinocco gold card. Machine B is a Sony Vaio laptop running XP or FreeBSD 4.6 (dual-boot) with another Netgear MA401. Machine A always works correctly. Machine B works correctly when running FreeBSD 4.6, but when it's running XP with the MA401 driver (which, perversely enough does not do the "new" Windows XP 802.11b thing), it only works correctly with WEP disabled. It *used* to work ok with a "real" access point (a Linksys), and it works fine under FreeBSD, but there's something that is keeping the Netgear Windows driver from negotiating any sort of WEP (64 or 128 bit) with a hostap mode. For what it's worth, I tried applying the most recent -current diffs. No help. The configurator help>about lists the config utility as 4.06.4.7 (jan 12, 2001), the driver at 0.29.4 (Apr 3, 2001), and the NIC firmware as 00.08.03.00 (ID:S10008C3). I can't find anything on their web site any newer than this. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
