Hello,

I have an smc2632w, smc2602w and asus spacelink wl-100 wireless
network cards. But I can't manage to get all three of them to
work together.

The configuration is following:
- 1 PC with smc2602w PCI card, freebsd 4.6 (gateway)
- 1 notebook with smc2632w PCMCIA card, win98
- 1 notebook with asus wl-100 PCMCIA card, winxp pro

What is working:

1. The ASUS card with access point

2. The ASUS card with an avaya card in adhoc mode

3. The ASUS card with an eagletec card in adhoc mode

4. The ASUS card with the smc2632w card in "802.11 adhoc" mode
   (in the win98 utility, there is a simple "adhoc" mode, too)

5. The smc2632w card in "adhoc" mode with the smc2602w card
   configured with "ifconfig ... mediaopt adhoc"

What is not working:

1. The ASUS card with the smc2602w card (one time i could
   manage to make it work, but could not reproduce it)

2. The smc2602w card (configured with "ifconfig ... mediaopt adhoc")
   with the smc2632w card configured in "802.11 adhoc" mode
   in the provided win98 utility

3. The three cards together.


I think if I could configure the smc2602w card to "802.11 adhoc"
mode, it could work (what is the difference between "802.11 adhoc" and
"adhoc" mode?).

What other suggestions do you have?


thank you very much,

attila bognár
