Re: Wireless cards

I imagine that by default ypbind is broadcasting to find a server (ayup, just checked the manpage for it). Are you seeing those broadcasts come across the bridge (via tcpdump)? If not, does the -m switch to ypbind help at all? If none of that helps, someone with more NIS experience will probably need to step in to help.

Bridge, networking, wireless cards, and ypbind.... (*sigh*
Hi, I wish this was a little less complicated, but it seems pretty straightforward and I got it to work in no time at all, so I think I have it right. Machines: Two AMD Socket 462 boxen 512 MB RAM RTL8169 Gb chipset (reX) cards Wireless card is Atheros 5212 based OK. Everything on the NIS/NFS machine has worked fine and I just added a wireless card. I'm going wireless on a few machines to test the wireless as I'm in an apartment and I'm thinking the landlord isn't going to like me hacking up the walls for wall plates, etc So... I add the Atheros card, configure it to be the hostap (ap-access point and voila' it works. Nice) On the NIS Server machine, I have the 192.168.1.x with 255.255.255.0 address space.

I can mount NFS exported drives from the server with no issue. if I ypwhich it tells me the domain is not bound. (Yes, the domainname is correct) I believe I'm missing something with UDP or ICMP or some such. This is driving me 3 days crazy. Is there a sysctl or something I'm missing? Does this seem like an RPC or UDP issue. Part of my trouble shooting had me hardwiring the machines instead of wireless. No sooner did I boot up the client then it was bound to the server.

pcmcia wireless cards

The nearest I can find is SMC 2635W (the one in the list is SMC 2632W). Anyone have tried this card before? Is it compatible? what about belkin cards? or Netgear MA521 that supports 821.1g? And have anyone tried Compaq WL400 wlan access point with freebsd yet? can you configure it from freebsd an not from windows? any replies would be appreciated.

Yes. if you assign wi1 an IP, say: ifconfig wi1 inet 192.168.20.222 can you then ping the ip? I can ping either card when telneted into the machine. Since the first card wi0 is in BSS mode, (it has to be to communicate with the AP1000 that is my repeater 10 miles away), I can't ping that card from my laptop unless I hop it over to ad-hoc mode (that works fine though if I do). I can't ping the second card from outside no matter what I've tried. :-( So when you ping the second card, you're turning off WEP on your laptop? - Bob Thanks Pete To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Running 2 wireless cards
Hi all, Old 233mhz Vectra, FBSD v4.5 I'm struggling to get 2 Orinoco Silver .11b cards to run on FBSD v4.5. Each card is in an ISA adapter. The box does nat through the wired NIC to the world. (3Com 3C905 card) One wireless card is set up as the 192.168.10 network, the second being the 192.168.20 network. The problem I'm having is getting the *second* card to work. I can ping it, the lights are on, but the card is not talking. I've wicontrol'd this thing to death... trying every conceivable combination of settings, still with no luck. btw: I'm trying to talk to it using a Dell laptop running W2k with [another] Orinoco Silver card (same cards in the FBSD box). Here are the relevant parts of my config: - /etc/rc.conf --- natd_program=/sbin/natd natd_enable=YES natd_interface=xl0 natd_flags=-dynamic gateway_enable=YES firewall_enable=YES firewall_script=/etc/rc.firewall firewall_type=OPEN firewall_quiet=NO firewall_logging_enable=YES log_in_vain=YES # and here's the stuff for the PCMCIA adapter pccard_enable=YES pccard_mem=DEFAULT portmap_enable=YES accept_sourceroute=NO # script to configure first card (wi0) /usr/local/sbin/wireless.sh [[these are my wicontrol parameters]] # script to configure second card (wi1) /usr/local/sbin/wireless1.sh -- end of /etc/rc.conf --- --- kernel config file -- # PCCARD (PCMCIA) support device card # The first pair of lines are for direct assignment # The second pair of lines are for polling mode #device pcic0 at isa? irq 4 port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd #device pcic1 at isa? irq 5 port 0x3e2 iomem 0xd4000 device pcic0 at isa? port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd device pcic1 at isa? port 0x3e2 iomem 0xd4000 end of kernel config snippet --- I've experimented with direct port assignments... cards seem to both come alive either way. Currently running in polling mode. /etc/defaults/pccard.conf --- # Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE -- Dual Wireless NICs - test # card Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE config 0x1 wi0 ? config 0x1 wi1 ? insert /etc/pccard_ether wi0 start insert /etc/pccard_ether wi1 start end of /etc/defaults/pccard.conf snippet relevant lines of dmesg output --- pccard: card inserted, slot 0 pccard: card inserted, slot 2 wi0: WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 3 slot 0 on pccard0 wi0: Ethernet address: 00:02:2d:2b:4c:6d wi1: WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 at port 0x280-0x2bf irq 5 slot 2 on pccard2 wi1: Ethernet address: 00:02:2d:0a:dd:7c end of dmesg output snippet --- The *only* thing I've noticed is a slight difference in what echos to the screen when the cards come up during bootup. The sequence I see/hear: - tone when wi0 comes up - a line echos to the screen similar to the wi0 line in dmesg - ~10 seconds later a second line echos spelling out config information of the interface (not the config of the card) - tone when wi1 comes up - a line echos to the screen similar to the wi1 line in dmesg - ~10 seconds later something like pccard running (or some simple two word message) echos These latter lines echoing to the screen (the final line that shows for each card during bootup) do *not* show in dmesg (sorry... I'm a beginner at this, so I don't know if I'm describing this correctlyg). There is definitely a difference in what I'm seeing on the screen during bootup for the 2 cards. Card wi0 *always* works -- and I have *never* been able to talk to wi1 no matter what I've tried. Any suggestions for this rank beginner?
