OK. I have two Orinoco cards talking to each other in ah-hoc mode:
wi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet X.Y.Z.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast X.Y.Z.255
ether 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet DS/2Mbps <adhoc>
status: associated
ssid StupidName
stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node"
channel 3 authmode NONE powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1
wepkey 1:64-bit
These talk to each other great. They happen to be located 5.5 miles
apart, and I'm able to get about 5Mbps out of the cards (averaged over
a long file transfer). In fact, they are in use to transfer this mail
to the list.
However, I have a Cisco 340 Series Wireless LAN adapter. I can't seem
to get it to ping the Orinoco card. I'm within range of the Orinoco
card (since I'm only a few feet away from it), but I'm having
problems. I get all the way to the associated state:
an0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet X.Y.Z.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast X.Y.Z.255
ether 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect
status: associated
ssid StupidName
stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node"
channel 3 authmode NONE powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1
wepkey 1:64-bit
So, any ideas?
All these machines are -stable from the last week or two (exact dates
available, if that would be helpful, but given no commits in this area
in that time, I doubt it matters).
Warner
P.S. It looks like the an driver in -stable doesn't support the media
options.
