    Hi all,

    I'm Running FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE on a Dell Latitude.
    I have a Linksys WPC54G. I've gotten the
    sys/compat/ndis stuff and compiled and installed it
    according to these instructions:
    http://www.freebsddiary.org/ibm-thinkpad-t41.php

    I'm currently at the O'Reilly open source conference,
    which has a huge wireless network, and tons of users.
     the card works fine on their network in my room.
    when I'm downstairs in the sessions ( where all the
    other people are too ), I get an IP address from the
    dhcp server ( on the right network ), but I can't ping
    anything, or connect to any machine. I can see
    traffic ( via tcpdump ). also wicontrol behaves funny
    ( strange data output ). should I also update
    ifconfig & wicontrol to current? also, it doesn't
    let me switch channels using "ifconfig ndis0 channel
    8"

    My windows drive works fine ( slow, but it works )
    with this card.

    I've turned all the debugging on via sysctl, and when
    I plug the card in, there doesn't appear to be any
    errors. and when I do a dhclient, I get "ndis0 link
    up".

    when I get back up to my room, I'll boot up to FreeBSD
    and reply with more detailed info.

    anyone have any sugesstions?

    thanks,

    -freeman
