Using FreeBSD 6.2 and an Orinoco Gold Classic. This combination works fine with Kismet if I disable channel hopping. If I enable hopping it only sees a few packets than stops hearing. If I set the defaultchannels to multiple instances of the same channel as the initial channel, it will still work if channelhop=true. The suggests the problem only occurs if thechannel number is changed. The card works fine for regular wireless access. The same card on a slightly newer laptop running Ubuntu Linux Breezy works properly, including channel hopping. -- Chuck Forsberg caf@omen.com www.omen.com 503-614-0430 Developer of Industrial ZMODEM(Tm) for Embedded Applications Omen Technology Inc "The High Reliability Software" 10255 NW Old Cornelius Pass Portland OR 97231 FAX 629-0665
