I have an IBM Thinkpad T30 with a Cisco Mini-PCI 350 series adapter and a cardbus Lucent Orinoco WaveLan (Both 802.11b) that I am running with OpenSolaris Developer Edition 04/07 (NV62 I believe) which seem to be dropping connection when ifconfig iface dhcp is ran. I have a D-Link DI-624 802.11G router reset to factory settings with no security, and I am using wificonfig -i iface connect dlink to connect to the access point "dlink". I have flashed the firmware on the 350 back to the recommended revision stated on the wlan page for OpenSolaris by using the bin file and ACU on Windows. Both adapters are dropping connection and will not work with static or dhcp. Oh, and I was able to cause a kernel panic by removing the WaveLan from the PCMCIA slot. The kernel module for pcwl seems to get stuck and is not removable with modunload -i id, even after I push the device down. I am using the kernel modules bundled with OpenSolaris, not the ones from the project page, although I have these too. Even if I need to use a newer version of the drivers, I'm sure that it disconnecting from the access point shouldn't be happening to both, even with the stock drivers provided by the distribution. Any ideas what's wrong? PS: Having WEP on makes no difference, setting the keyindex, wepkey, and essid parameters still result in it disconnecting with dhcp, and even after flushing routes and statically configuring, neither work.
