Hi!
I have a laptop and want to use it part of my school network. In the past
I learned from FreeBSd news group and worked accordingly. I am still
facing problem in configuring it, though WaveLan card correctly received`s
and transmitts packets (one led is permanently glow and other one blink,
both are green). I have a problem in assigning the IP adress to the box,
as on ifconfig IP address 0:0:0:0.
This is my pccard.conf
----------------------
io 0x240-0x360
irq 3 11
memory 0xd4000 96k
card "Lucent Technologies" WaveLAN/IEE"
config 0x1 "wi0" 11
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -p 1 131.252.208.141
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -p 1
insert /sbin/dhclient $device
remove /sbin/ifconfig $device delete
(In school I have DHCP and above IP address is one of them)
Tail of /var/log/messages is as under:
****************************************
Last message repeated 41 times
/kernel: pccard : card inserted, slot 0
pccardd[53]: Card "Lucent Technologies"("WaveLAN/IEEE")[version 01.01] []
matched "Lucent Technologies"("WaveLAN/IEEE") [(null)][(null)]
/kernel: wi0: <WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11> at port 0x240-0x27f irq 3 slot 0 on
pccard0
/kernel: wi0: Ethernet address: 00:60:1d:1e:75:6b
pccardd[53]: wi0: Lucent Technologies (WaveLAN/IEEE) inserted.
Cat /var/run/dmesg.boot seems to be fine there is no error message.
*****************************************************************
Output of wicontrol -i wi0 is
*****************************
I guess some important details would be
Current BSSID: [00:00:00:00:00:00]
Port Type: [3]
Promiscuous mode: Off
Create IBSS : Off
Now do I need to type following command at "root" as it is, If I do then I
again get core dump.
/usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -n 131.252.208.141
/usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -p 1
/usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -c 1
/usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -s harkirat
Looking forward to help!
Thanks,
Harkirat
