Hello :-) I'm trying to run my acx card. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:18:0: class=0x028000 card=0x3b011186 chip=0x8400104c rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Texas Instruments (TI)' device = 'PCI-2422 802.11b+ 22Mbps Wireless Adapter' class = networkI've searched google a lot, found some firmware but im not sure which one should i use. I've found some info about radio firmware stuff but i don't know if my card need it. acxcontrol acx0 -f firmware just do nothing and when ifconfig acx0 up driver is complaining about missing firmware.
I use firmware in following link to test acx(4): http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~sephe/acx/acx_fw.tbz After extracting the above tar ball, you need to run following command to load the firmware: acxcontrol acx0 -f acx_fw/acx100/wlangen.bin -r
Please, give me some instructions how to setup this card. I want to run it in AP mode, is it possible?
Yeah, it is possible, but only WEP or 'no protection' is supported. ifconfig acx0 channel 1 ifconfig acx0 ssid your_ssid ifconfig acx0 mediaopt hostap # if you need WEP: # ifconfig acx0 wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1 ifconfig acx0 inet your_ip Putting ifconfig up/inet in the last step can save you some firmware (re)loading and hardware reinitialization time.
