Hi - I got a Lucent Wavelan Turbo 11MHz Silver card that I got some
problems with.

I have FreeBSD 3.3 installed on my laptop, and when configuring wi0 with
ifconfig the OS freezes immediately. I get input/output error messages
when configuring with wicontrol.

So I tried to boot on the revised (as of 2000/03/03) PAO 3.4 floppies and
switch to the console on Alt-F4. Here I can configure wi0 with wicontrol
and ifconfig. The little green lamp goes on a blinks when I I try to ping
around. However I never get ping replies and on the Alt-F2 screen I see
wi0: Device timeout errors.

I have tried setting the network name to "" and "saubernet", which is the
network name I gave to the Apple Airport Base Station that I try to
connect to. The APBS is set up to not do nat or dhcp - it just works as a
bridge.

Everything works fine in ms-windows - and I'm running out of ideas for
what else to try to make it work in FreeBSD :-/ Please help.

Soren
