I have the same fake net and ipw doesn't work with adhoc: # ifconfig ipw0 name wifi0 # ipwcontrol -i wifi0 -f ipw2100-1.3-i.fw # ifconfig wifi0 ssid betty media DS/11Mbps mode 11b mediaopt adhoc # ifconfig wifi0 wifi0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:04:23:a0:55:1f media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet DS/11Mbps mode 11b <adhoc> (autoselect <ibss>) status: no carrier ssid betty channel 2 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 rtsthreshold 2312 As you can see, ssid is here. But # ifconfig wifi0 inet 192.168.0.2/24 up # ifconfig wifi0 wifi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:04:23:a0:55:1f media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet DS/11Mbps mode 11b <adhoc> (autoselect <ibss>) status: associated ssid "" channel 2 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 rtsthreshold 2312 I have no ssid after up. And I can't ping my peer. For example, that is output of "ifconfig wifi0" from ipw-freebsd-1.7.1 (from damien's site), which I used on CURRENT before API was changed: wifi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:04:23:a0:55:1f media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect <adhoc> (autoselect <ibss>) status: associated ssid betty channel 1 bssid be:92:66:95:01:5e authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 rtsthreshold 2312 It works OK on FreeBSD localhost.my.domain 6.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT #0: Fri Jun 10 21:52:01 MSD 2005 dsh@localhost.my.domain:/var/FreeBSD/obj/var/FreeBSD/src/sys/WIZARD i386 I think something wrong with FreeBSD's net80211 layer. -- DSS5-RIPE DSS-RIPN 2:550/5068@fidonet 2:550/5069@fidonet mailto:dsh@vlink.ru http://neva.vlink.ru/~dsh/
