Edd, yes, I have seen this and also wondered.
my experience with centrino is: 1) Damien's drivers work better than anything linux. If you get the connection, you have and keep it 2) But... if you want to change to another access point, cat /var/log/messages will show messages like "fatal firmware error", or similar.... on iwi0! Not on ath0 So that the question is: Is the firmware in obsd different to the one you get with those linuxies? I guess not. So, what's the problem? 2008/7/3 Christian Weisgerber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Edd Barrett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> If you get the wep key (or network name) wrong when configuring iwi >> network drivers the card becomes useless until you reboot. >> >> Is there a way of resetting the card altogether? > > I don't use WEP, so this may not be applicable, but when the card > becomes stuck in normal operation--somewhere between every few hours > and every minute, depending on network traffic and the phase of the > moon--running an access point scan with "ifconfig -M iwi0" usually > resets it for me. > > -- > Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [EMAIL PROTECTED]
