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 ] ====================wicontrol -i wi0 NIC serial number: [ 0115004636 ] Station name: [ aes ] SSID for IBSS creation: [ XXXXXX ] Current netname (SSID): [ XXXXXX ] Desired netname (SSID): [ ] Current BSSID: [ 00:00:00:00:00:00 ] Channel list: [ 2047 ] IBSS channel: [ 6 ] Current channel: [ 6 ] Comms quality/signal/noise: [ 0 27 27 ] Promiscuous mode: [ Off ] Port type (1=BSS, 3=ad-hoc): [ 3 ] MAC address: [ 00:05:5d:f1:26:ac ] TX rate (selection): [ 3 ] TX rate (actual speed): [ 2 ] RTS/CTS handshake threshold: [ 2347 ] Create IBSS: [ Off ] Access point density: [ 1 ] Power Mgmt (1=on, 0=off): [ 0 ] Max sleep time: [ 100 ] WEP encryption: [ Off ] TX encryption key: [ 1 ] Encryption keys: [ ][ ][ ][ ] ==============clipped ifconfig -a wi0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 10.0.0.101 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 inet6 fe80::205:5dff:fef1:26ac%wi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7 ether 00:05:5d:f1:26:ac media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/2Mbps ) status: associated ssid "XXXXX" stationname aes channel 6 authmode NONE powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 wepmode OFF weptxkey 1 -- Allan Strand, Biology http://linum.cofc.edu College of Charleston Ph.
