just yesterday i bought a d-link wireless AP/router and a Dell 802.11b pccard NIC, which is apparently just a rebranded Lucent WaveLAN. i'm still fiddling with it to make it work correctly, but i can tell you this: a) make sure that device card device pcic0 at isa? irq 0 port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd0000 is in your kernel. it is in the base install. either put: device wi in your kernel config file, or if_wi_load="YES" in your /boot/loader.conf make sure pccardd is started from /etc/rc.conf b) READ THE wicontrol(1) MANPAGE c) seriously, read it. it's all you need to know. d) put the commands you need into /etc/start_if.wi0. stuff like setting the IBSS stuff, the key, turning encryption on, etc. also, see: http://darkminds.net/wlan/freebsd/swsetup.php -Adam >> (09.17.2002 @ 1149 PST): MET said, in 0.3K: << > I'm getting my hands on a 802.11a wireless network card and a base > station (both from Dell) and was wondering if it will work on my FreeBSD > laptop (dell Latitude C840). > > Any ideas or links to check out? > > > ~ Matthew > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > >> end of "Wireless Networking" from MET << -- "Oh good, my dog found the chainsaw." -Lilo, "Lilo & Stitch" Adam Weinberger adam@vectors.cx http://vectors.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
