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.
