Re: [leaf-user] Wireless PCMCIA and bridging
One other thing are you loading shorewall? If I remember right I had a problem with the configuration in shorewall and bridging. I don't use shorewall on my bridge setup's. The laptop you mentioned should not be a problem as you can prove it works though normal setup. I also use RC2 just because I haven't had a reason to change but it had a bug in the bridging script which I think was fixed in RC3 might want to double check that it has been mentioned several times on the list. When you boot up what messages do you get from the bridge you should see it setting up the cards?

There is maybe another bit of significance with my case. The hardware I'm using this on is fairly archaic. The laptop is an old 486-75, and the wireless card is the WebGear Aviator2.4. But seeing as how everything works fine before enabling bridge, I can't believe this is an issue. I don't mean to whine on and on since I've been constantly amazed at what I've been able to apply leaf to. -- Mark _ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Gadgets, caffeine, t-shirts, fun stuff. http://thinkgeek.com/sf leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html

RE: [leaf-user] Wireless PCMCIA and bridging
The wireless cards in this case are 200mw Prism cards with external antenna connectors which our company does sell. I also use standard 30mw Prism cards in alot of locations. The wireless driver is from http://hostap.epitest.fi/ which I use in both AP and station mode haven't had much luck with the Orinoco driver. So do I read this to say the Orinoco_cs driver *won't* work? Is it necessary to have access to the AP functions to make this work (which aren't available with the orinoco drivers)?

Re: [leaf-user] Wireless PCMCIA and bridging
How about I send you a working floppy image that I use. You can run that and see what you see. I can send you off list tonight. If there is interest from the group I can post some of the floppy images that I use in our wireless. Plus a pcmcia.lrp for Dachstein that includes Prism wireless drivers. As far as the sleep command that is for a conventional computer. You probally don't need it for a laptop as the ethernet is also pcmcia Jim aka snowcrash From: Mark A Nordstrand [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Jim TerWee [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [leaf-user] Wireless PCMCIA and bridging Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2002 10:40:34 -0500 Jim TerWee wrote: One other thing are you loading shorewall?

Re: [leaf-user] Wireless PCMCIA and bridging
Jim, I'll take a look if you send it. I can understand the sleep for regular ethernet cards, but might a better place for it be in the bridge script? don't know what kind of problems this would cause.
