I have FreeBSD2.2.7+PAO installed on my laptop.
I believe it is the old WaveLAN/PCMCIA, not the IEEE 802.11.
I vaguely remember Craig saying something about updating the card
to 802.11. Will 2.2.7+PAO work only with the new card?
When I plug in the Wavelan card, it recognizes:
wlp0: nwid [0:0] mac:[8:0:6a:2a:6:5c]
it recognizes it as PCMCIA 915 MHz.
When I use wlconfig to find out the configuration etc., I got:
# wlconfig wlp0
wlconfig: get PSA: Invalid argument
When I tried to set the nwid with the number Jon gave us, I got:
# wlconfig wlp0 nwid A913
I got the same error message saying PSA: Invalid argument.
Similarly when I try to change the irq.
Maybe we have the wrong entry for the card in /etc/pccard.conf:
# NCR Wavelan PCMCIA
# If you want to use Japanese version, uncomment the second config
# line and comment-out the first line.
card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/PCMCIA"
# config default "wlp0" any # US version (915MHz)
config default "wlp0" 10 # US version (915MHz)
# config default "wlp0" 10 0x01 # Japanese version (2.4GHz)
ether wavelan
insert echo WaveLAN PCMCIA inserted
insert /etc/pccard_ether $device
remove echo WaveLAN PCMCIA removed
remove /etc/pccard_ether_remove $device
I have tried the other config lines above with no improvement.
The wlp0 entry in the kernel is set to irq 10.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
