Hi all,
I'd like to get an adhoc network running in my office. I have a
couple of d-link DWL-650 cards. The catch is that one card is mounted
in a pci-pcmcia bridge plugged into a desktop machine. D-link markets
this setup as the DWL-500. My intent was to use natd on this machine
to forward packets. The other card is plugged into a gateway
solo9100.
I cvsupped from the 4.x stable branch on 2 Aug and made world on both
machines.
Right now, the bridge comes up on the desktop, the cards on both
machines are recognized by pccardd and both come up under the wi
driver.
Unfortunately the two machines do not see each other, and I am at an
impass.
Below is the output from wicontrol and ifconfig for the desktop
machine. Does anybody have any ideas? The Comms quality line would
seem to indicate that there is no signal. The same line on the laptop
installation is: [ 84 131 0 ]
