Hi everyone, I have a wireless-g PCI Card Linksys WMP54G. Just installed FreeBSD 5.3 from CD. I'm trying to get this to work and talk to my access point which is also Linksys. I followed the instructions to compile the windows .inf and .sys into .h, .ko, .o. Did a 'make' on ndis as per instructions from a website I googled (I think it was http://www.xl0.org/FreeBSD/ndis.txt). I can see ndis0 in ifconfig, I can specify ifconfig ndis0 inet 192.168.0.8 netmask 255.255.255.0. Turned off wep on my AP to make things easier. Set the SSID. Now when I type ifconfig ndis0 media autoselect, nothing happens. Everything looks okay, I can locally ping the interface 192.168.0.8. I cannot wicontrol and list the local ap however. When I type ifconfig ndis0 mediaopt adhoc it says ndis0 link up. I try ifconfig ndis0 media autoselect and link is down. What's up with that (no pun intended) ? Many thanks Cheers, Jon
