I have upgraded to 7.0-CURRENT Jun 16 from 7.0-CURRENT Jan 8, and cannot use orinoco cardbus card anymore to connect to my access point. The machine is Thinkpad T23. I have not changed any wireless configuration on the AP recently, nor the ifconfig command on the client. Here is how I bring up the interface: ifconfig ath0 up 192.168.0.6 channel 6 ssid kot-podval-edu wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:0xc1275f0aa31adbe7ce0497ee24 bssid any ifconfig -a : ath0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::220:a6ff:fe4c:3547%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 192.168.0.6 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:20:a6:4c:35:47 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/1Mbps) status: no carrier ssid kot-podval-edu channel 6 authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:104-bit txpowmax 30 bintval 100 What bothers me is the "status: no carrier" line, despite the fact that both indicator lights on the card are blinking, as they should when the card is connected to the AP. dmesg|grep ath shows: ath_hal: 0.9.17.2 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413) ath0: mem 0xc0210000-0xc021ffff at device 0.0 on cardbus1 ath0: Ethernet address: 00:20:a6:4c:35:47 ath0: mac 4.2 phy 3.0 5ghz radio 1.7 2ghz radio 2.3 Loaded modules: Id Refs Address Size Name 1 29 0xc0400000 414910 kernel 2 2 0xc0815000 1dbec linux.ko 3 1 0xc0833000 f8d4 if_ath.ko 4 2 0xc0843000 3ff4 ath_rate.ko 5 6 0xc0847000 1f138 wlan.ko 6 3 0xc0867000 31308 ath_hal.ko 7 1 0xc0899000 8a80 if_fxp.ko 8 1 0xc08a2000 2df0 wlan_wep.ko 9 1 0xc08a5000 6b0c wlan_ccmp.ko 10 1 0xc08ac000 3f9c wlan_tkip.ko 11 1 0xc08b0000 5b468 acpi.ko 12 1 0xc2249000 6000 linprocfs.ko 13 1 0xc22d4000 2000 green_saver.ko 14 1 0xc2bc3000 9000 savage.ko 15 1 0xc2bd7000 e000 drm.ko I have also tried disabling WEP and MAC access control on the AP (with a corresponding change to the above ifconfig command on the client), to no avail: I cannot ping the access point IP. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Thanks, Vladimir
