Hi all, I'm Running FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE on a Dell Latitude. I have a Linksys WPC54G. I've gotten the sys/compat/ndis stuff and compiled and installed it according to these instructions: http://www.freebsddiary.org/ibm-thinkpad-t41.php I'm currently at the O'Reilly open source conference, which has a huge wireless network, and tons of users. the card works fine on their network in my room. when I'm downstairs in the sessions ( where all the other people are too ), I get an IP address from the dhcp server ( on the right network ), but I can't ping anything, or connect to any machine. I can see traffic ( via tcpdump ). also wicontrol behaves funny ( strange data output ). should I also update ifconfig & wicontrol to current? also, it doesn't let me switch channels using "ifconfig ndis0 channel 8" My windows drive works fine ( slow, but it works ) with this card. I've turned all the debugging on via sysctl, and when I plug the card in, there doesn't appear to be any errors. and when I do a dhclient, I get "ndis0 link up". when I get back up to my room, I'll boot up to FreeBSD and reply with more detailed info. anyone have any sugesstions? thanks, -freeman __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
