Hi
I have a (slightly older, but still snazzy) generic
acting as my gateway - see dmesg at bottom
my laptop internal wired NIC was acting funny, so I
thought I'd try wireless to network through my net4801
gateway. Never using my wireless card before on the
soekris (sat in the machine dormant for a year never
configured), I thought I'd finally try out the
excellent wireless support in OpenBSD.
Following the man page, I have
# cat /etc/hostname.ath0
inet 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0 NONE media autoselect
mediaopt hostap nwid my_net chan 11
Rebooted...
I think it looks okay:

and I had also changed my pf.conf to add the new

#
Yet, my WinXP with Intel 2915a/b/g can't find it when
scanning for networks to connect to.
Following the manpage again, setting a WEP key, just
in case......

Still looks okay, yet, can't seem to find it (sitting
five feet away.)
I only have this one internal miniPCI 2915 to try
scanning it.
Did I miss a step? or any recommendations on how to
debug this? Any fancy trick I can try?
much thanks
