The goal is to have one laptop (Win2K) setup once, and talk to a similar FreeBSD wireless router (a functional clone; at least from a wireless perspective) regardless of where I am. At home, things work fine. At the office, Orinoco Client Manager shows an "excellent" signal, but no IP connectivity takes place. The BSD systems are configured as similar as possible. There are HW exception that I can't avoid. At home, I have a PLX based PCI->PCMCIA adapter, so pcic isn't used. It shows up as a PCI ethernet card, so the config is straight forward. In work, I have an Orinoco ISA->PCMCIA adapter. The system seems to see this ok (there are watchdog timeouts however). ipfw counters do show that IP send ping (e.g. if I ping x times, the ipfw send rule shows x packets seen by ipfw. Does this rule out IRQ and memory problems??) In all 3 machines, I have Orinoco Silver cards, with no WEP. The laptop configuration never changes. It is setup for "peer to peer" (adhoc according to the working machine at home.) All cards run the same version of the firmware. The laptop uses dhcp to get IP information. Both home and work FreeBSD machines use the same start_if.wi0 script: # cat /etc/start_if.wi0 /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -n adhoc /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -a 3 /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -q adhoc /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -s MikeC-BSD /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -c 1 /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -p 1 /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -f 10 pccard.conf (applicable to work only): # Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE" config auto "wi" ? insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop dmesg (work): pci0: (vendor=0x1011, dev=0x0009) at 14.0 irq 11 [deleted] pcic0: at port 0x3e2 iomem 0xe0000 on isa0 pcic0: Polling mode pccard0: on pcic0 pccard1: on pcic0 [deleted] pccard: card inserted, slot 0 wi0 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0 wi0: 802.11 address: 00:02:2d:08:4e:ad wi0: using Lucent Technologies, WaveLAN/IEEE wi0: Lucent Firmware: Station 8.10.01 Because of this option rom stuff: orm0:
