Hi,
I've been working at getting an old toshiba tecra 750cdt to work as
a wireless access point using the guide in the handbook, The wireless card
I'm using is a d-link dwl-650 (original that uses the prism2 chipset, I
checked.)
Its all looking good to start, the 3com 3c589 pcmcia lan card connects to
the wired side fine and ifconfig and wicontrol will talk to wi0 but if I try
and tell it to go into hostapp mode (as detailed in the handbook) i get
wlan-gate# ifconfig wi0 ssid testing channel 7 media DS/11Mbps mediaopt
hostap up stationname "test AP"
ifconfig SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured
I know the card works as i've tested it (in adhoc) on a windows2k machine.
any suggestions ?
