Hello List! I'm running FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p7 on a Centrino laptop and I'm trying to get the integrated WLAN adaptor to work. I've built the NDISulator (using the WinXP driver that came w/ the laptop) based on information I found on the web and in the archives of this list [1], [2]. However, I can't seem to get the ndis0 interface to work. I'm trying to integrate my laptop into the home network. The network is a small, wired home network with around 10 hosts and one access point which sits right next to my laptop here on my desk. Below you can find the steps I'm doing. I'm sort of wondering what the 'ndis0: link down' message means which I see on the console. The access point is less than 3ft away from the laptop so I don't think it's a signal issue. Is my access point mis-configured or am I doing things wrong on the laptop? I'm sorry if I could have solved this myself but this is the first time I'm touching a WLAN. Thanks for your help. Phil.
