I still failed to get the (network part of the) card to work in -CURRENT though. I installed recent snapshots of both 4.6-STABLE & 5.0-CURRENT from snapshots.jp.freebsd.org, as described in the article. Using 4.6 the card works fine, apart from some 'Code 136 unknown' messages and a 'xe0: watchdog timeout; resetting card' message. Below are the relevant lines from the dmesg for -STABLE (boot -v): pccard0: Assigning xe0: io 0x2e8-0x2ef irq 11 mem 0x0-0xffffffff xe0 at port 0x2e8-0x2ef iomem 0xd1000-0xd1fff irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0 xe0: Forcing IRQ to 11 xe0: Xircom CEM56, bonding version 0x55, 100Mbps capable, with modem xe0: DingoID =3D 0x444b, RevisionID =3D 0, VendorID =3D 0 xe0: Ethernet address 00:10:a4:f1:33:37 bpf: xe0 attached xe0: watchdog timeout; resetting card The card does *not* work in -CURRENT however: pccard0: Assigning xe0: io 0x2e8-0x2ef irq 11 mem 0x0-0xffffffff Jun 18 14:27:58 nbwin141 pccardd[141]: driver allocation failed for Xircom(= CreditCard Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56): Device not configured I have 'device xe' in my kernel for -CURRENT (although I checked and it appears to be included in GENERIC also), I have made a pccard.conf that loo= ks like: irq 11 memory 0xd1000 96k (although I don't suspect that is the problem), I've tried with or without ACPI (by 'unset acpi_load' in the loader), and reinserting the card after boot; all of those didn't seem to matter. After searching the archives there was mention of setting the memory address in /etc/sysctl.conf, but still no go.

I've also noticed that in some situations, my Lucent card out performs my Aironet 350. Specificaly, I get good performance on my parent's deck (connecting to a Lucnet RG-1000 in the basement), but <40% packet loss with the 350. In general, I've been a happy user of the 350s and we're using them almost exclusivly at work. > Also, I've been considering buying a PCI version of the aironet and > connecting with ad-hoc mode.

I am not sure of what you mean by 'routing', since an AP is a layer 2 device and routing is layer 3. If I understand correctly your question, you want to know with which AP the client will associate. It depends on the configuration of the APs and the client. If the APs have different SSIDs, and the client is set to the zero-lenght SSID (incorrectly referred to as the "ANY" SSID), then it will associate with the AP with strongest signal. If the client is set to a particular SSID, then it will associate with the AP that owns that SSID, no matter signal strenght (obviously assuming the signal is not too low). marco To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Tue Jun 18 17:59:40 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from medusa.oit.pdx.edu (medusa.oit.pdx.edu [131.252.120.41]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4193537B400 for ; Tue, 18 Jun 2002 17:59:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from lora.oit.pdx.edu (lora.oit.pdx.edu [131.252.120.15]) by medusa.oit.pdx.edu (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id g5J0xUv11005; Tue, 18 Jun 2002 17:59:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from sec@localhost) by lora.oit.pdx.edu (8.11.6/8.11.6) id g5J0xUl17737; Tue, 18 Jun 2002 17:59:30 -0700 (PDT) X-Authentication-Warning: lora.oit.pdx.edu: sec set sender to skym@pdx.edu using -f Received: from 209.180.170.87 ( [209.180.170.87]) as user skym@imap.webmail.pdx.edu by webmail.pdx.edu with HTTP; Tue, 18 Jun 2002 17:59:29 -0700 Message-ID: <1024448369.3d0fd771b0a83@webmail.pdx.edu> Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2002 17:59:29 -0700 From: skym@pdx.edu To: Marius Strom Cc: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG, alain@alain.no-ip.com Subject: Re: Toshiba Satellite 3000-X304 + 4.5R References: <20020618215044.GT35692@marius.org> In-Reply-To: <20020618215044.GT35692@marius.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit User-Agent: Internet Messaging Program (IMP) 3.0 Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi Marius.

Routing not in the sense of what we understand as a router. I just meant 'passing through' the packets. It's a bridge, of course (kind of). In this vein the term 'collision domain' came up. In how far does a 100 Mb network consisting of several (3COM 3000) switches which are cascaded (using TP cables, not a matrix cable) still form a collision domain?

No, it does not. A switch is really just a quick bridge with many ports and hence splits a broadcast domin into several (one per port) collision domains. Of course, switches with built-in routers and X.25 switches are completely different beasts :-) /Olof -- Olof Samuelsson (+46) 31 701 4228 Carlstedt Research Unix, Networking, Security (+46) 70 785 8491 & Technology AB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Wed Jun 19 3:27:15 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from accms33.physik.rwth-aachen.de (accms33.physik.RWTH-Aachen.DE [137.226.46.133]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 60DA237B40A for ; Wed, 19 Jun 2002 03:27:11 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from kuku@localhost) by accms33.physik.rwth-aachen.de (8.9.3/8.9.3) id MAA29201; Wed, 19 Jun 2002 12:26:08 +0200 Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2002 12:26:08 +0200 From: Christoph Kukulies To: Olof Samuelsson Cc: kuku@accms33.physik.RWTH-Aachen.DE, molter@tin.it, freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: wireless lans with multiple accesspoints Message-ID: <20020619122608.A29154@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de> References: <200206170919.LAA11550@accms33.physik.rwth-aachen.de> <20020618003639.6592f5ae.brian@Awfulhak.org> <20020619004209.5483.qmail@cobweb.example.org> <20020619084119.C27055@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5.1i In-Reply-To: ; from olof@crt.se on Wed, Jun 19, 2002 at 11:01:54AM +0200 Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Wed, Jun 19, 2002 at 11:01:54AM +0200, Olof Samuelsson wrote: > >>>>> "Christoph" == Christoph Kukulies writes: > > > I chose the wrong term.

OK, not kind of. Just was puzzled by the fact that it also had an IP Address but that's probably for SNMP purposes only. -- Chris Christoph P. U.

The use of that term goes way back and it really is no longer appropriate in the era of full-duplex where collision simply don't exist. But it matters here. There are two issues: 1. Can they build a spanning tree? As long as all connections are switched (layer 2) and not routed (layer 3), this should work. 2. Are they in a common collision domain? When one AP detects a collision, do the other APs se it? If so, they are in a collision domain. In more common terminology, are they connected by a hub or a switch? The issue is significant if you want to support mobility. Say you want to enable wireless in a large facility and allow people to walk around with their laptops without losing connectivity. The APs must be in a single collision domain. Otherwise the switch forwarding cache will break things when laptops switch from one AP to another. Officially, Cisco does not support roaming between cells, but it works. I'm not sure about others. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

Being able to swap things in and out of the media bay on the fly is very cool. The only bit I had to figure out was that I had to detach the channel before adding a device. Initially I tried inserting the LS-120 and reinitializing channel 1. The machine didn't panic or lock up, but I couldn't do anything with channel 1 until I rebooted.
