1. /etc/pcmcia/config:
Add the following context to /etc/pcmcia/config, the cardmgr
references this file to install the driver for DWL-650H.
card "D-Link DWL-650H"
version "D-Link Corporation", "D-Link DWL-650H 11Mbps WLANAdapter"
bind "orinoco_cs"
2. /etc/pcmcia/network.opts:
Add the following context to /etc/pcmcia/network.opts, this file is
setting the network configuration. The ‘case "$ADDRESS"’ is the MAC
address of wireless card, it sets to *.*.*.* which means general case, but the
wireless.opts (next step) would set the same too. The INFO is the name of
wireless card that must be same with the config (previous step). The DHCP
was set to ‘n’ which means no DHCP, cause of the wireless network was
defined to a peer-to-peer networking in this thesis, thus the IPADDR,
NETMASK, NETWORK, BROADCAST also need to define.
case "$ADDRESS" in
*,*,*,*)
INFO="D-Link DWL-650H"
DHCP="n"
IPADDR="192.168.0.2"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
NETWORK="192.168.0.0"
BROADCAST="192.168.0.255"
3. /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts:
The Mac address and INFO must be the same setting with step 1 and 2.
The ESS ID (Extended Service Set ID) is an identification assigned to the
Ad-Hoc or network AP for the wireless card connects to. And ESSID is the
name of a logical network group that other computer is about to join. The
RATE is transmission rate which can be set to 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 5.5Mbps,
11Mbps or Fully Automatic.
# D-Link DWL-650H (what is the MAC address ???)
*,*,*,*)
INFO="D-Link DWL-650H"
ESSID="cssplab"
MODE="ad-hoc"
CHANNEL="1"
RATE="auto"
