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?
