The WaveLAN card is detected, and the "wi0" interface is configured (using my "pccard_ifconfig" setting). "netstat -r" shows correct routing table entries. I'm keeping the interface in "ad hoc" mode (port type 3: the default). In other words, everything looks fine, EXCEPT that I'm not seeing any traffic on the interface (e.g., when my other machine - a Windoze laptop with a WaveLAN card also in "ad hoc" mode - tries to do DHCP). One hint is that when I run wicontrol -i wi0 (to see the interface's settings), I get wicontrol: SIOCGWAVELAN: Invalid argument' So, it appears that something hasn't been configured properly. Any ideas? Ross. ps. I had previously gotten a WaveLAN card to work with FreeBSD, but only using a WaveLAN<->Ethernet adaptor box, which - to FreeBSD - looks just like a regular (non-wi) Ethernet interface. This is my first time trying to get "wi" to work. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
