Hi, I have been using the same system running FreeBSD as my home wireless "Access Point" successfully since at least FreeBSD 4.6. Now, a new laptop connects, but drops ~ 80% (according to ping) of all packets sent from the AP (which is also my router) over wi0 to the laptop. When I send ping from the laptop, no replies are lost however. The laptop has an internal Intel wireless card. Specifically, an "Intel Pro Wireless LAN 2100 3A Mini-PCI" adapter. Things do associate and there is some connectivity in hostap mode using 128 bit encryption. This same laptop, when I disable the Intel 2100 and plug in any of the PCMCIA cards I use with other laptops, works perfectly. At first, I suspected something wrong with the card. However, it works perfectly with other AP's deployed at various shows/events I've attended recently (Usenix, IETF etc.) So, RMA'ing the card back to Dell will probably not do much good. Is anyone else successfully using clients to a FreeBSD 4.10 Stable system acting as an AP? Are there settings I need to tweak? As I said, with numerous Orinoco cards, other laptops connect to the FreeBSD AP as it is setup now just fine. On the AP, I use a Netgear 401 plugged into a PCI->PCMCIA adapter. wi0: <Siemens SpeedStream> port 0xec00-0xec3f,0xec80-0xecff mem 0xfdfff000-0xfdffffff irq 9 at device 7.0 on pci1 wi0: 802.11 address: 00:09:5b:0e:dd:dd wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3873 wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.00.07, Station 1.03.06 Thanks, MikeC _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
