Re: Orinoco Gold and iwconfig
I have had a bear (read I haven't) getting this card to work at all
under everything up to 2.4.18 -- I even tried running with a
2.4.19-pre17 kernel, but then iwconfig complained about module
versioning ...
I haven't had the urge to futz with it again since 2.4.19 came out ....
like you though I know the card, machine and router are fine .. the
exact combo worked just ducky under FreeBSD and the router has a couple
win clients talking to it as well ...
I guess I'd say make sure you're current on everything and then try to
get it working without encryption first, then add it in (I fully
appreciate that may be hard since you have other nodes and things to
consider, but maybe when things are slow)
