For mine I have to add the following options to get it to work with the AP in default settings: /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -n "" /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -s atom /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -p 1 -s is not really required, atom is my stationID for my laptop so change that to whatever you like. I have also seen those messages but it doesn't seem to stop it from working ... providing the above settings are configured. -Steve * Ross Finlayson <finlayson@live.com> [000920 12:41]: > Has anyone else encountered this problem (with a WaveLAN/Orinico card in a > ISA->PCMCIA adaptor): > > On boot, the "pcic" and "pccard" devices come up fine, and "pccardd" is > started.
