I took the plunge to set up a wireless capability (most of the house is on
a wired network but I wanted to be able to use a thinkpad T23 untethered).
I have a Dlink DWL700AP access point and the Cisco 342 pc card. Needless
to say, it's all working smoothly under Win2k.
eCS is a different story. It wouldn't work, so I installed the latest
cardbus drivers from the eCS website. They work - at least I can use a pc
card modem and a cf adapter and read the cf card. However, the wifi is
still not working under eCS (yet).
Situation is that I have a wired NIC in the machine - assigned to Lan0
[since it was the first one there] using dhcp. I installed the cisco
drivers from the file that I found on hobbes, and verified that the ssid
matches that in the WAP (I'm not using any WEP for now; not concerned due
to an extremely rural location - it's too far even for drive-by access).
I get an amber activity light on the cisco, but no green status indicator.
LANTRAN.LOG shows:
FFST/2 is installed but is not started. LANMSGDD is loaded and
operational.
Netstat shows the adapter, as does PC Card director [what a kludgy
interface!]
TCPIP config won't allow me to set it to DHCP (that may be because I had
LAN0 set to use DHCP).
What should I try next?
