Hi there,
... since I've read many success stories about using the
Lucent WaveLan cards with FreeBSD, I aquired a "Lucent Orinoco
Residential Gateway" (RG 1000) and a Lucent WaveLan pccard for
testing purposes.
The other hard- and software:
Sony Vaio 505X
FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE
[ As an aside: The combo is working fine under Win98 (I'm sitting in
the living room watching the olympic games on tv andtyping this
mail through a ssh-session to my regular workstation). ]
The pccardd recognizes the wavelan card and binds it (as expected)
to the the wi driver.
I tried my very best to deduce the 'right' parameters for wicontrol.
I set up the right network name, the infrastructure mode, the
encryption key etc.
Bringing up the interface with ifconfig results in
"wi0: tx buffer allocation failed" messages.
This smells like kern/17821.
I was able to reproduce the behaviour with an ELSA AirLancer MC-11
from my "test pool", too.
Any hints? Any patches available, yet?
TIA,
Andreas
