Its all looking good to start, the 3com 3c589 pcmcia lan card connects to the wired side fine and ifconfig and wicontrol will talk to wi0 but if I try and tell it to go into hostapp mode (as detailed in the handbook) i get wlan-gate# ifconfig wi0 ssid testing channel 7 media DS/11Mbps mediaopt hostap up stationname "test AP" ifconfig SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured I know the card works as i've tested it (in adhoc) on a windows2k machine. any suggestions ? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Vince Hoffman Systems Administrator Euro RSCG Circle (London) P: 020 7959 7576 M: 0777 5822213 Icq: 50905590 PGP ID: 0xC859C861 "A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams -----------------------------------------------------------------------
