I had a lucent gold card which worked great as a client, but wasn't Prism, so i went out and bought a netgear 401. I plugged it in, and viola, nothing. I investigated, and it claims to be a "MA401RA" not just MA401, so a quick edit of pccard.conf fixed that. Now when i plug in the card, it recognizes it as a Prism2.5: wi0: at port 0x240-0x27f irq 3 flags 0x10000 slot 1 on pccard1 wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3873 wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.00.07, Station 1.03.06 But it doesn't seem to recognize my network. The status light keeps blinking, and ifconfig reports "no carrier". To make it weirder, if i run "dstumbler wi0 -o", the light goes solid, and dstumbler sees my access point. So I'm stumped. The OS seems to be able to handle the card, but for some reason it won't find my network. My network is wide open, no WEP, no restrictions. I tried the card in a windows laptop, and everything works. Any ideas? Any other info i can provide? brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
