Folks,
I've been using an Aironet 4800 series PCMCIA card for some time with
great success. I love it. I recently got a 350 series PCMCIA card
(AIR-LMC350, which is the PCMCIA form factor with an MMCX antenna
connector, not an integrated diversity antenna. Actually, this is the
PCMCIA card from a 350 series PCI adapter (AIR-PCI352) yanked from the
PCI carrier and put in a PCMCIA slot) to try out.
I've read differing reports with respect to support for the 350 series
cards but figured I'd try it out anyway. I did a pccardc dumpcis,
included below, and copied the 340 series entry into /etc/pccard.conf,
changed the 340 to a 350 and off I went. 4.3-STABLE on a Toshiba
Libretto, by the way.
The card is detected as:
an0: <Aironet PC4500/PC4800> at port 0x240-0x27f irq 3 slot 0 on pccard0
an0: Ethernet address: 00:40:96:5a:1e:5a
Which surprised me as I expected to see something about a 340 or 350
series driver, until I remembered that the above is the hardcoded
description in the an device driver. Heh.
At any rate, I was able to get the card to associate with an access point,
even via shared key WEP, and I was even able to get it to try to lease an
address via DHCP, but it seemed to fail to really work. The DHCP server
saw the client requesting leases, and seemed to be sending information
back to the client, but the client never leased an address successfully.
If I stuck the old 4800 series card in the Libretto, DHCP worked fine.
When I manually ifconfigged the an0 interface with an IP, the IP showed up
in netstat properly, but I was again unable to communicate with the
network at layer 3.
Any ideas? Seems like it almost worked.
