Hello Everybody,

I have a Belkin F5D6050 connected to a Fedora Core 4 box running
kernel  2.6.12-1.1390_FC4.  I just installed yesterdays CVS tarball
and am trying to get my Axim handheld to connect to the internet.  It
seems to connect, but I cannot ping the handheld's IP.  Also, the 'TX
packets:2' from ifconfig looks strange.  Shouldn't it be trasmitting
more?

I use the commands 'iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc channel 10 essid
mqtlan2' and 'ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.20' to setup the wireless
network.

Here's the output from iwconfig and ifconfig:

Here's the output from my log:

Any help?

BTW, this was working under FC3.  I don't know if FC4 or kernel 2.6.12
changed anything.
