wireless config problems

I have two ORiNOCO wifi cards that work under Linux (I set up an
ad-hoc network between two Linux laptops), but I can’t seem to
configure them correctly in QNX 6.2.0.

devp-pccard sees the card correctly, and devn-orinoco doesn’t
complain. I start it with

slay io-net
io-net -d orinoco
channel=4,default_key=1,key1=0xXXXXXXXXXX,mode=ad-hoc,network=XXX -p tcpip

and equivalent settings for the other card under Linux. The card seems
to start up correctly (blinks). Then IP settings:

ifconfig en0 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.0.0.0
route add default 10.0.0.1

to which it responds with “not multicast capable, IPv6 not enabled,”
but the interface is up. But pinging the other card gives “Host is
down” no matter what! Pinging from the Linux machine likewise gives
“Host unreachable.”

Please help, what could I be doing wrong?

There was a problem with ad-hoc mode, that has just recently been fixed.

I got the new release, but have encountered the same impasse:
everything seems to be working but no connection.

My Linux machine is receiving bytes when I try to ping it,
but I guess the response isn’t getting through.

Is there any utility in QNX that is the equivalent of iwconfig in Linux?
I need some way to know at least that the options I am giving devn-orinoco
are accepted correctly.

Where did you get the new release, as it hasn’t been released yet?

Where did you get the new release, as it hasn’t been released yet?

I got the new release of Momentics, did you mean that the new release of
devn-orinoco is not in it?

The fix was only made a few weeks ago, so, no, it is not in the new release.

How can I get a copy of the new driver?
Thanks.

There will be an updated/fixed driver posted shortly on developer’s
corner. Check http://developers.qnx.com under the fixes section.
