Wirless Access Point
-
I am new in this forum and I would like to say hello to everybody.
I would like to setup my computer as an access point.
I have two Ethernet NIC cards and an Orinoco Gold card installed.
I am not able to find apropriate documentation.
Can someone help me in finding docs or in setting up the pc?
Thanks in advance
regards

Let me be more detailed.
I am running PFSense version 1.2 RC3
two ethernet cards (xl0 and xl1)
one Orinoco Gold (lucent technologies) card (wi0)
xl1 is my LAN (192.168.1.1/24). DHCP enable.The ethernet connection works fine; I can use the web interface.
xl0 is my WAN (192.168.2.1/24).
wi0 is OPT1 (static 192.168.3.1/24). Mode: Access Point; SSID : setted; all open.
The problem is that I can't find the wirless network. I tryied with two different laptops.
I also tryied to swap the Orinoco Card with another (tha I am sure it is working) without success.
The only way I have to see the wirless network is to set up the OPT1 mode as ad-hoc.
I can connect my laptop to the pc but I can't ping it….
Does anybody know what is going on?
Thanks in advance -
Which channel did you select?
I had a problem with a card with a firmware that allowed only US channels and i tried to set an EU channel. -
