I am trying to configure a Lucent Technologies Orinoco card to access
a WAP (Linksys WAP54G). Everything I've tried results in "status: no
carrier". I don't know why. I have tried two different wireless
cards in two different boxes and both have the same problem.
To keep things simple, the WAP configuration is:
Mode: Mixed (as opposed to "G Only")
SSID Broadcast: Enabled
SSID: linksys
Channel: 10
WEP: Disabled
The WAP is operating in "Access Point" mode as opposed to "Wireless
Bridge" mode and is not filtering by MAC address.
On my laptop, I have this:
# ifconfig wi0 inet 192.168.0.34 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid test
# ifconfig wi0
wi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.0.34 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
inet6 fe80::202:2dff:fe0e:5204%wi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6
ether 00:02:2d:0e:23:12
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/2Mbps)
status: no carrier
ssid test 1:test
stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node"
channel 10 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
wepmode OFF weptxkey 1
FWIW, the above is a laptop running FreeBSD 4.8-PRERELEASE dated Feb
24 2003.
And this from /var/log/messages
