[leaf-user] Orinoco card not coming up fully

[David M. <dav...@ya...>]

First off, thanks to everyone who replied to me. I'm
sorry I didn't reply sooner. 

In the meantime, here's what was written to me, and my
responses:

dave,
i would also check to make sure that the wireless card
is in the right 
mode
(ad-hoc, manual, ap, etc...)

It's in 'managed' mode, but after starting ./network
start eth1 it just hangs.

Sounds like you want to run dhcpd on the wireless
subnet. This requires 
a 
fixed address on the server side. I am wondering how
your 
/etc/network/interfaces file looks like for eth1

Make sure your network card is up _before_ dhcpd
starts. This is not 
always 
so with pcmcia.

Right now, it's not important about dhcpd. In fact,
loading it pushed the stuff off my screen,
so I just got rid of it.


Also, another odd thing but might be related:
If I cold-boot, run ./network stop eth1 then run
iwconfig, none of my interfaces show they have
wireless extensions, but eth1 (the wireless card)
works. If I then run ./network start eth1 it hangs,
but if I rmmod orinoco_cs then insmod orinoco_cs I can
run ./network start eth1 without hanging (but the
other problems still remain).

I'm also thinking about moving up to full-on Debian
until I can get some time to figure this out. I need a
little more in the way of tools and capabilities for
this Linux newbie. Also, I can also try and make an
LRP out of NoCat as a 'thank you' to the community. :)
