Hello all! :-D I have a Linksys WPC11 ver.4 wireless NIC. I got it setup using ndisgen (very cool tool by the way). Now when kldload /root/rtl8180_sys.ko (the location of my wireless kernel object) dmesg shows this:
ndis0: <Realtek RTL8180 Wireless LAN (Mini-)PCI NIC> port 0x1000-0x10ff mem 0x88 000000-0x880001ff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus1 ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1 ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:0f:66:cf:10:7e ndis0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps and when I run ifconfig -a I get this: ::My onboard ethernet NIC xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=9<RXCSUM,VLAN_MTU> inet6 fe80::204:76ff:fe48:9301%xl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 192.168.1.101 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:04:76:48:93:01 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active ::I don't know what this is. . . plip0: flags=108810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ::Loopback device lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 ::My Linksys WPC11 ver.4 ndis0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:0f:66:cf:10:7e media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier ssid "" channel -1 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS wepmode OFF weptxkey 1 I have several questions, but I'll ask them one at a time. . . I have a Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router. Currently my onboard NIC is what I use to access the net and stuff. How do I assign an IP address - and any other needed parameters - to my wireless NIC, activate it, and use it instead of (or along with) my onboard ethernet NIC? I know about using ifconfig <interface name> blah blah blah, but what paramaters do I pass and where do I get them?
