--NextPart-20000324172736-0035600 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=us-ascii I've put the ported awi driver from NetBSD current to FreeBSD current. I'm not quite sure about the differences between FreeBSD 4.0 and -current but it will be expected to work on FreeBSD 4.0 as well. Snapshot ftp://onoe2.sm.sony.co.jp/pub/awi/awi-000324.tar.gz Because of lack of support of ifconfig on FreeBSD, only infrastructure mode without specifying ESSID preferences can be selected. DS cards, e.g. BayStack 660, will still be able to communicate with WavePOINT-II at Adelaide, while I cannot attend this time.. Enjoy!

Tested cards: 802.11 FH 1Mbps BayStack 650 Netwave AirSurfer Plus 802.11 DS 2Mbps BayStack 660 Icom SL-200 Melco WLI-PCM NEL SSMagic Netwave AirSurfer Pro * Netwave AirSurfer Plus/Pro apparently requires updated firmware. Please consult www.nortelnetworks.com with keyword "BayStack 600" 802.11 DS cards can communicate with Lucent WavePOINT-II Access Points (2Mbps, 11Mbps), Apple AirPort Base Station (11Mbps), and Netwave AirSurfer Pro access points (2Mbps), in 2Mbps mode. It supports adhoc mode as well. At least it can connect to adhoc mode of Windows version of BayStack driver. Though I believe it can join existing IBSS, it would fail to make online if there are no IBSS creator since creating IBSS functionality is not implemented yet.. You can enter adhoc mode with "mediaopt adhoc" for ifconfig(8). Also DS cards can communicate with adhoc mode of WaveLAN/IEEE (wi(4)) by adding 'flag0' to adhoc mode, i.e. "mediaopt adhoc,flag0" for ifconfig. Since I don't have enough environment to test with, there would be some problems. Reporting your experiences are welcome.
