hi mailing list, i have two U.S. Robotics (USR022410) wireless lan cards (PCMCIA Type 2). one fo these cards comes with a PCMCIA to PCI adapter card. so i tryed to build an access point with a box running freebsd 4.6.=20 after cvsuping to 4.6-STABLE and the necessary kernel options the card=20 and the adapter was recognized perfectly (see below --server start--). the client (a dell laptop running fbsd 5.0-DP1) also recognized the card=20 perfectly. i took the following resource as configuration guide: [configuring a freebsd accesspoint...] http://www.samag.com/documents/s=3D7121/sam0205a/sam0205a.htm but after all the both machines tell me still:=20 status: no carrier what did i do wrong? any idea? thanks in advance emanuel --server start-- wi0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::290:d1ff:fe07:b200%wi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2=20 inet 10.0.0.77 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 ether 00:90:d1:07:b2:00 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier ssid frfa 1:frfa stationname alaska channel 7 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:64-bit --server end-- --laptop (client) start-- wi0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.0.0.78 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 inet6 fe80::290:d1ff:fe07:b064%wi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4=20 ether 00:90:d1:07:b0:64=20 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/2Mbps) status: no carrier ssid frfa 1:frfa stationname alaska channel 10 authmode NONE powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:64-bit --laptop end-- --wicontrol output server-- NIC serial number: [ 99SA01000000 ] Station name: [ alaska ] SSID for IBSS creation: [ frfa ] Current netname (SSID): [ frfa ] Desired netname (SSID): [ frfa ] Current BSSID: [ 44:44:44:44:44:44 ] Channel list: [ 8191 ] IBSS channel: [ 7 ] Current channel: [ 12 ] Comms quality/signal/noise: [ 0 27 27 ] Promiscuous mode: [ Off ] Port type (1=3DBSS, 3=3Dad-hoc): [ 1 ] MAC address: [ 00:90:d1:07:b2:00 ] TX rate (selection): [ 3 ] TX rate (actual speed): [ 5 ] RTS/CTS handshake threshold: [ 2347 ] Create IBSS: [ On ] Access point density: [ 1 ] Power Mgmt (1=3Don, 0=3Doff): [ 0 ] Max sleep time: [ 100 ] WEP encryption: [ On ] TX encryption key: [ 1 ] Encryption keys: [ ][ ][ ][ ] --wicontrol output server end-- --wicontrol output client-- NIC serial number: [ 99SA01000000 ] Station name: [ alaska ] SSID for IBSS creation: [ frfa ] Current netname (SSID): [ frfa ] Desired netname (SSID): [ frfa ] Current BSSID: [ 44:44:44:44:44:44 ] Channel list: [ 8191 ] IBSS channel: [ 7 ] Current channel: [ 11 ] Comms quality/signal/noise: [ 0 27 27 ] Promiscuous mode: [ Off ] Port type (1=3DBSS, 3=3Dad-hoc): [ 1 ] MAC address: [ 00:90:d1:07:b0:64 ] TX rate (selection): [ 3 ] TX rate (actual speed): [ 2 ] RTS/CTS handshake threshold: [ 2347 ] Create IBSS: [ On ] Access point density: [ 1 ] Power Mgmt (1=3Don, 0=3Doff): [ 0 ] Max sleep time: [ 100 ] WEP encryption: [ On ] TX encryption key: [ 1 ] Encryption keys: [ 12345 ][ ][ ][ ] --wicontrol output client end-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
