Lenovo T60 as a wireless AP (wpi0), DHCP server
All,
I have been diligent in looking for the missing piece of this wireless puzzle. I have configured as far as I know the AP (with wpi0) including the firmware. DHCP is configured as well. When I do an ifconfig the laptop shows wpi0 is up, broadcast, and running, shows ssid (nwid) and wpakey. I can ping address 192.168.1.1. Here is where my problem lies, status:no network. Why? Did I miss something? Is there some other info I can provide? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Mark |

Ocicat,
Thanks for the response...here is the info: /etc/hostname.wpi0 inet 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 NONE media autoselect mode 11g mediaopt hostap nwid zuma wpakey xxxxxxxxxxx /etc/dhcpd.conf option domain-name "markjb.com"; option domain-name-servers 167.x.x.x, 167.x.x.x; subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option routers 192.168.0.1; (this is my openbsd router and firewall nat machine for my lan) Just want to use laptop for wireless devices range 192.168.1.32 192.168.1.127; } ifconfig...not all of it (I am typing this on a window xp box) em0 ...inet 192.168.0.87 gave it a static IP when configured it on my lan media:Ethernet autoselect (100 baseTX full-duplex) status:active wpi0:flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTI CAST> mtu 1500 lladr 00:1b:77:11:a4:31 priority:4 groups:wlan media:IEEE802.11 autoselect (autoselect mode 11g) status:no network ieee80211:nwid zuma wpakey (long letter/numbers of course) wpaprotos wpa1, wpa2 wpaaakms psk wpaciphers tkip,ccmp wpaggroupcipher tkip inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 Trying to figure out how to do total dmesg...its pretty lengthy as you know. |

IdOp,
Well that is certainly a bummer...I was given this laptop and I really was hoping to use it for wireless devices. I did try to change the hostname.wpi0 like you suggested rebooted and ifconfig says media:IEEE802.11 autoselect and status: no network. Back to the drawing board. Thanks for your response I greatly appreciate it. Mark |

You're welcome, Mark. From my limited experience and from what I've read in this forum, my sense is that host AP mode generally is still pretty hit-and-miss, also for NetBSD and Linux. On the bright side you have a laptop to play with.
