I've got a Prism1 card here, and a PCI-CardBus-bridge. I want to run in adhoc mode on ESSID "FOO" with IP 192.168.42.42. I tried the following:
modprobe orinoco_cs <insert card. beep boop> <dmesg reports eth1 is alive and looks like an Intersil Prism 1> iwconfig eth1 mode Ad-Hoc essid FOO ifconfig eth1 192.168.42.42
And then you did "/etc/init.d/net.eth1 start" ?
(And in case there is no /etc/init.d/net.eth1, check out http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml#doc_chap21 )
... but this doesn't work. The machine won't ping any of my other
machines (OpenBSD and W2k) around here running adhoc in the same net
and ESSID. The others can talk to each other. Rotating cards didn't do
much.
How do I get this working? (Or, is it easier to get my NetGear WG311 PCI 802.11g card working?)
