I finally went ahead and upgraded from MDK 8.2 to MDK 9.0 on my laptop (IBM Stinkpad 1412, Celeron). It installed just fine and everything is working OK except for wireless.I only know there has been a lot of traffic around these devices on cooker. Maybe you could find a clue in the archives:
I have 2 devices to play with: an Orinoco Gold and a Zoomair. Under 8.2 I had the Zoomair (prism2) working just fine. Under 9.0 I find it impossible to build the hostap driver and the wlan-ng driver just doesn't work at all - it doesn't appear to understand any wireless extension commands so I cannot set anything on the card.
Under 9.0, the Orinoco gold card is accepted OK and the wvlan_cs module loads. I am able to set channel, mode, etc, with iwconfig. Problem is, even though I set the parameters to Ad-hoc, channel 6, and the proper essid and "iwconfig eth0" shows all the settings as what they should be, I get no communication with my desktop which has and has had for a long time a fully working WUSB11 set to Ad-hoc, channel 6, and the proper essid. They match in all necessary settings yet I am unable to ping or communicate between systems at all.
Any ideas? Any suggestions? I have tried rebuilding wlan-ng drivers, altering the wireless.opts file, network.opts file, manually changing settings, all to no avail. I even reset my desktop wusb11. Nothing. Ad-hoc, same channel, same essid and no communication.
