I'm trying to make an adhoc wlan between my desktop computer (WinXP) and laptop (FreeBSD-6.0). Both have 802.11b/g wlan-adapters. They seem to connect, but theres no data transfer and neither can ping each other. Windows machine can ping it self, but freebsd machine can't. ("ping: sendto: Host is down") The laptop's wlan-card worked fine when I tried it at university's wlan. ( just command "dhclient ndis0" was sufficent ) Here's some debugging information: ---------------------------------- Gandalf# dmesg | grep ndis0 ndis0: <Dell TrueMobile 1300 WLAN Mini-PCI Card> mem 0x88000000-0x88001fff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus0 ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.0 ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:07:40:fa:01:c5 Gandalf# ifconfig ndis0 inet 192.168.0.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 media DS/11Mbps mediaopt adhoc ssid koti channel 10 up Gandalf# ifconfig ndis0 ndis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::207:40ff:fefa:1c5%ndis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet 192.168.0.4 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:07:40:fa:01:c5 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps <adhoc>) status: associated ssid koti channel 1 bssid de:54:3a:eb:21:75 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS Gandalf# ifconfig ndis0 scan SSID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS koti 8e:3d:96:d9:e7:80 1 11M 161:0 100 I ??? ??? ??? ???
