Gareth, I have an Orinoco RG and am using a Orinoco Gold Card. To get it all to work I turned off DHCP on the RG and basically set it up as a bridge to my lan. I all ready had a DHCP server on the LAN and the RG defaults to serveing 10.0.0.0 net work addresses. This step had to be done via the windows client software supplied. Once the RG was configured I set up the cd in my laptop by taking a copy of /etc/defaults/pccardd.conf and putting it in /etc. I then hacked it untill it just had a section for the Orinoco card and added varius wicontrol commands to configured it to use the default encryption provided. The network ID is the on the spine of the RG under the cover and the encryption key is the last 5 digits of the same ID. I spent a lot of time getting evry thing working with windows on the laptop trying to talk to my freeBSD box once I had all that working I started playing with wicontrol and fond that the parameters below worked for me. I belive now that this way of doing the configuration may not have been the best. It certinly works for me but I belive that these wicontrol commands should now go in /etc/start_if.wi0, I havnen't spent much more time looking in to this way of doing things as I am about to embark on a complete rebuild of the laptop and will play with it then. But for what it's worth here is my config from /etc/pccardd.conf and the relevent sections of /etc/rc.conf pccardd.conf ------------ # Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE" config 0x1 "wi" ? insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -s ANY insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -n <6 digits> # Network ID insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -k <last 5 digits from 6 above> -v 1 # Encrypt Key insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -T 1 insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -e 1 insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -p 1 insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop rc.conf ------- pccard_enable="YES" pccard_ifconfig="DHCP" hostname="<FQDM>" Hope this helps David.
