ok, well this system has a 3com, xl0 holding an ip of 192.168.2.150 Does this mean that I need to have each interface having an IP on a different subnet? maybe I could change the mask on the xl0 to 255.255.248.0 and it might work? I wanted to have the wireless card on the same subnet as the rest of the LAN and keep the wired card up and running just for testing before permanently migrating to this wireless card(i'm using encrypted protocols locally so wep weaknesses should not be an issue). is there a way to have both cards be on the same subnet and have the same subnet mask? --- "Daan Vreeken [PA4DAN]" <Danovitsch@Vitsch.net> wrote: > On Tuesday 26 October 2004 15:59, you wrote: > > Here's what I got: > > > > This is my ifconfig for this device ath0 before > > executing a new ifconfig command: > > > > pluto# ifconfig ath0 > > > > ath0: > > flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> > mtu > > 1500 > > inet6 fe80::20f:3dff:fea9:3645%ath0 > prefixlen > > 64 scopeid 0x2 > > ether 00:0f:3d:a9:36:45 > > media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet > > autoselect (DS/11Mbps) > > status: associated > > ssid XXXX 1:XXXX > > channel 5 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF > > powersavesleep 100 > > wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1 > > wepkey 1:40-bit > > > > See it says it's associated and has picked up a > > channel, but no IP! > > > > pluto# ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.2.180 netmask > > 255.255.255.0 ssid XXXX wepmode on weptxkey > > 1:0x123456789 > > ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists > > ifconfig says this if you already have another > interface with an ip-address in > the same range.
