    Hi all,
    I don't think I received a reply on this one; can some one please help me
    out? The Ndis0 seems to go up only when I ifconfig adhoc mode, when I try
    autoselect the ndis0 link goes down.
    Thanks
    Jon

    Subject: Ndisulator - Linksys wireless-g PCI card

    Hi everyone,

     

    I have a wireless-g PCI Card Linksys WMP54G. Just installed FreeBSD 5.3
    from CD. I'm trying to get this to work and talk to my access point which
    is also Linksys. I followed the instructions to compile the windows .inf
    and .sys into .h, .ko, .o. Did a 'make' on ndis as per instructions from a
    website I googled (I think it was http://www.xl0.org/FreeBSD/ndis.txt). I
    can see ndis0 in ifconfig, I can specify ifconfig ndis0 inet 192.168.0.8
    netmask 255.255.255.0. Turned off wep on my AP to make things easier. Set
    the SSID.

     

    Now when I type ifconfig ndis0 media autoselect, nothing happens.
    Everything looks okay, I can locally ping the interface 192.168.0.8. I
    cannot wicontrol and list the local ap however. When I type ifconfig ndis0
    mediaopt adhoc it says ndis0 link up. I try ifconfig ndis0 media autoselect
    and link is down. What's up with that (no pun intended) ?

     

    Many thanks

    Cheers,

    Jon
