- this is not an answer to your problem, but i felt like sending this story to this list as i think it fits best. (i sent it to the net-freebsd some time ago, since i wasnt onn the mobile) i was trying to use wlp with PAO-980430 + 226R without much success (i was using the Lucent card) i had to use the DOS based utilities to set the NWID in the card first and then use wlpconfig etc.. i triedt out the suggestions -didnt work, in my case , and... i havent looked much at it since then but i'd be only too interested to hear whether/how other people have managed to use WaveLan. hope it will keep the discussion going Cheers, Panos To: freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG X-Organization: Dept. of Computer Science, University College London X-Phone: +44 (0)171 419 3666 X-URL: http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/P.Gevros/ Subject: PAO waveLan driver and 2.2.6 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Thu, 16 Jul 1998 16:51:10 +0100 Message-ID: <2222.900604270@cs.ucl.ac.uk> From: Panos GEVROS <P.Gevros@cs.ucl.ac.uk> Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org i 'm trying to use the Wavelan driver which comes with the PAO-980430 patches on an IBM thinkpad-560 running 2.2.6 without being succesful so far: the interface (wlp0) comes up i can tcpdump on it and see traffic, it is also arp-ing i've checked/configured the card with the dos-based utilities (SET/INSTCONF) and i believe i got it right (i wouldnt be able to tcpdump otherwise...or not?) but i'm failing to send any ip/icmp packets. has anyone experienced anything similar? any hints or pointers to drivers known to work with 2.2.6/PAO (possibly supporting roaming as well) would be much appreciated.

I suggest you check that you've set the Wavelan Network ID (nwid) correctly with the wlconfig command. There are alternate drivers available from: ftp:// monarch.cs.cmu.edu/pub/monarch/drivers. I have used these with 2.2.5 and PAO. They are supposed to support roaming but I ran into a problem with the nwid getting corrupted when roaming was enabled. The most recent release is from 971217 so I'm not sure if they'll work with the 2.2.6 release of PAO. -Doug From: eddy@isi.edu To: Panos GEVROS <P.Gevros@cs.ucl.ac.uk> cc: freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG, eddy@kit.isi.edu Subject: Re: PAO waveLan driver and 2.2.6 In-Reply-To: <2222.900604270@cs.ucl.ac.uk> References: <2222.900604270@cs.ucl.ac.uk> X-Mailer: VM 6.31 under 20.2 XEmacs Lucid i had a somewhat different problem, i just got a micron laptop with a 3com etherlinkIII, pci card. i could see it xmitting packets (arp, icmp, etc.) and i could (on another machine), see the packets responded to. however, the laptop would act as though it saw nothing except for a rare occasion. tcpdump would intermittenlty, dump out a gob of packets (mostly mcast or bcast). it turned out the built in sound card had an interupt conflict irq5 with the pci bus (i think this was the problem). anyway, i finally configured the soundcard to use irq10 and rebuilt the freebsd kernel with this new irq value, i took a hint from the boot process that recognized the sound card when probing (the standard snd sb compatible) card when, but would report the sound card was not configured due to a conflict. that did it, i guess the sound card was left as a rougue interupt thief. configuring it, put it in it's place :) this may not be your problem, but may be worth considering. - rusty To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
