I've just got hold of a LinkSys WMP11 802.11b wireless ethernet card. It
is detected by the wi driver:
wi0: <Intersil Prism2.5> mem 0xff000000-0xff000fff irq 10 at device 17.0
on pci0
wi0: 802.11 address: 00:06:25:03:78:a4
wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI)
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.00.05, Station 1.03.01
I'm trying to get it to act as a base station/access point but I can't get
it going in either ad-hoc mode or IBSS. I have a MacOSX box with an
Airport card to test with.
I've tried:
# set the channel
${WICONTROL} -i ${INTERFACE} -f 11
# allow the creation of networks
${WICONTROL} -i ${INTERFACE} -c 1
# set the node name
${WICONTROL} -i ${INTERFACE} -s ${NODENAME}
# create the network
${WICONTROL} -i ${INTERFACE} -q ${NETWORK}
# put the interface in the network?
${IFCONFIG} ${INTERFACE} ssid "${NETWORK}"
# bring up the interface
${IFCONFIG} ${INTERFACE} inet ${IP} netmask ${NETMASK}
based on the man page and an article I found in samag. I've fiddled with a
few other settings and I will continuer to do so but I was hoping someone
could give me a few tips - either as a base station or in ad-hoc mode.
I just cvsuped yesterday to get the latest wi commits. Following is the
output of wicontrol -i wi0 and ifconfig wi0.
Thanks,
Andrew
