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?
