sorry if this has been covered, i haven't found any definiitive answers in any
of the archives or on google:
am trying to get my ipw2100 card working under ndis with 5-STABLE*. have
successfully set up the ndis and if_ndis module with the inf and sys file
from dell, but i consistantly get the following output from ifconfig :
ndis0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:04:23:53:53:5e
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect
status: no carrier
ssid ""
channel -1 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS
wepmode OFF weptxkey 1
I suspect that i'm somehow not getting the firmware to load. strangely, i
don't see any messages about trying to load the firmware, whether i do
manually from the console or from loader.conf... so i don't really know which
file is the firmware file.
can someone who's done this successfully help me out ? thanks.
Potentially usefull info:
$ uname -a
FreeBSD lorax.stonehenge-net.com 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE \
#2: Sat Apr 9 12:45:11 PDT 2005 \
root@lorax.stonehenge-net.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NOTSUCK i386
I built the if_ndis module with w70n501.inf and w70n51.sys from the R86279.EXE
download supplied by dell
thanks,
Ben
