[9fans] wavelan wireless card

[John P. Cummings]

(i tried posting a similar message a few days ago but never saw it
make the group.  sigh...)


hi-

i'm a new plan9 user so all the usual caveats about stupid questions
can be inserted here.

i have installed plan9 on my ibm thinkpad t22 and it seems to be
working.  what i cannot figure out is how to use wireless ethernet.  i
have a orinoco "silver" pcmcia card.  looking in
/sys/src/9/pc/wavelan.c, it seems as if the support is basic but
exists...

"Has been used with the card plugged in during all up time.  no card
removals/insertions yet."

ok, i boot up with the card in and see:

...
#l0: i82557: 10Mbps port 0x180 irq 11: 00000000FEF1
#Y0: Lucent Technologies; WaveLAN/IEEE; Version 01.01; irq 3, port 180
wavelanreset, iob 0x180
#l1: wavelan: 10Mbps port 0x180 irq 3: 00022D65C81A
#U/usb0: uhci: port 0x1860, irq 11
...

hmm...  i'm not a hundred percent sure how to read all that, but it
looks ok to me.  if i now poke around...

term% cd '#Y'
term% ls
cb0ctl
cb1ctl
term% cd '#l'
term% ls
ether0
term%

ether0 is my builtin ethernet.  no sign of ether1 anywhere.  should i
see it?  things seemed to get recognized at boot up.

any suggestions/advice?

When I got my wavelan to work with the ipaq I had to fiddle around in wavelan.c

curiously there are two different versions, slightly different

I remember seeing it reported in 9fans but I don't know if they have been fixed on sources yet.

ls '#l1' (letter-l 1) to see ether1, #l2 for ether2 (if there is one)
etc.  there's a hint to that effect in the boot messages you showed.
