Hi all System: FreeBSD 5.1 Release Arch: 386 laptop (Compaq Presario 1200) WNIC: ZyAir B-100 (from Zyxel) Once my friend had a ZyAir B-100 and I tested it on my FreeBSD laptop. I was able to get a sniffer going and see some traffic. Now I have a ZyAir B-100 myself and I'm trying to get it to work. When I plug it in I get: wi0: <PCMCIA 11M WLAN Card v3.0> at port 0x100-0x13f irq 9 function 0 config 1 on pccard0 wi0: 802.11 address: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX wi0: using RF:PRISM3(PCMCIA) wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.0), Station (1.4.2) wi0: supported rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps Running ifconfig I get: wi0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (none) ssid "" stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node" channel -1 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 wepmode OFF weptxkey 1 I can config the WNIC, but when running dstumbler I get a core dump (most of the times). I even got freebsd to panic. When running a sniffer I can't see anything, only my laptop trying to send some packets, so the WNIC is not able to receive anything. I forgot to set pccard_enable="YES" in rc.conf, could that be the problem? (It will be some days before I can test it again.) I had one of my friends test the NIC on his windows laptop, it works fine. Any clues? br socketd ps: Please cc to me as I am not on this list
