I have tried this: #define WI_DELAY 100 #define WI_TIMEOUT (1000000/WI_DELAY) I am using a desktop and a laptop, each with wireless cards. The desktop acts a DHCP server and gateway for the laptop. Both machines get the "wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 11; event status 8000" message. Both have the above settings compiled into the kernel. Is there a way I can confirm those settings or adjust them at run time? > I'm not sure what you mean about not using the pccard.conf entry. > The top part is exactly what is in /etc/defaults/pccard.conf and it won't > work if you don't set your wep key and enable ad-hoc mode if that's how > your network is configured.
