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
