It is detected by the wi driver: wi0: 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.
