I'm having trouble connecting to my OpenBSD wireless router with my
Nintendo DS handheld. Here is some general information about my setup.
uname -a:
OpenBSD lordnikon.thehomerow.net 4.0 GENERIC#1107 i386
ifconfig ral0:
ral0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu

inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
The DS is giving me an "Error Code: 51300" message when it tries to test
the connection. I've found some forums that mention this might be a
problem with the DS not gracefully dropping to the 1-2 Mbps connection
rate that it requires (for some odd reason).
The available media options for ral0 to set 1 or 2 Mbps connection rates
are DS1 and DS2. I've tried all combinations of these media options, no
mode setting, and mode 11b. I tried 11b because there were also some
mentions of the DS not dropping to an 11b connection if 11g is present
too.
I've also tried specifying different channels for the wireless card. I
tried 1, 11, and 12 with no success.
I was suggested to put the wireless card into "mixed" mode, but I'm not
exactly sure if there's a way to specify this, or this is what no mode
setting defaults to on a card that is capable of both 11b and 11g.
If anyone has any ideas, I would really appreciate it. I've posted this
problem on two different forums and still haven't been able to solve it.
Thanks!

Figured I'd attach my dmesg for good measure...
