I can get it to work, but only for short periods of time. I have to keep resetting the connection type to ad-hoc. Eg.. [chowder 17:31] /usr/src/crypto/openssh >sudo wicontrol -p 3 ; ping 10.0.2.2 PING 10.0.2.2 (10.0.2.2): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 10.0.2.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=32 time=2.421 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.2.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=32 time=2.548 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.2.2: icmp_seq=3 ttl=32 time=2.616 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.2.2: icmp_seq=4 ttl=32 time=2.519 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.2.2: icmp_seq=5 ttl=32 time=2.609 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.2.2: icmp_seq=6 ttl=32 time=2.371 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.2.2: icmp_seq=7 ttl=32 time=2.708 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.2.2: icmp_seq=8 ttl=32 time=2.373 ms ^C --- 10.0.2.2 ping statistics --- 11 packets transmitted, 8 packets received, 27% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 2.371/2.521/2.708/0.116 ms ie it just stops working after 8 seconds. If I rerun 'wicontrol -p 3' it works again. This is FreeBSD 4.5 as of 2 days ago, and the latest Lucent drivers as of about 4 months. (Latest Lucent f/ware too) Any s3kr1t config options I should twiddle? :) I also have another Lucent card and if I try that in the fbsd box I get no communication between them at all :( If I reboot the windows machine into FreeBSD the two lucents work fine (no repeated wicontrol -p 3 necessary). If I use the DWL-650 card against the lucent with both machines in FreeBSD it works fine also. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 9A8C 569F 685A D928 5140 AE4B 319B 41F4 5D17 FDD5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
