Making a Linux router

[Fabien Penso]

Hello Folks,

I got a adsl linux debian router at home, which works fine since a
while. I got a new laptop with a wireless card (orinoco) which worked
fine at the HAL (http://www.hal2001.org/) conference.

Now I am trying to make this to work at home too, with my linux
router. I bought a elsa airlancer m11 PCI card, which apparently is
working, but I can't ping between both.

Here is the config for my laptop :

/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts :

    INFO="Wavelan IEEE example (Lucent default settings)"
    MODE="Ad-Hoc"
    RATE="auto"
    ESSID="3079ba"
    KEY="079ba"
    CHANNEL="1"

and the log says :

------

Oct 23 23:08:47 redmond kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0800-0x08ff: clean.

Oct 23 23:08:58 redmond kernel: eth1: no IPv6 routers present
------

(seems to works fine). I then do setup the IP manually (192.168.2.2)

iwconfig returns :

eth1      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:"3079bf"  Nickname:"redmond"
          Mode:Ad-Hoc  Frequency:2.412GHz  Cell: 02:02:2D:2B:0D:BC
          Bit Rate:2Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm   Sensitivity:1/3  
          Retry limit:4   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:079B-0F00-00
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  invalid crypt:0  invalid misc:0


Now the router. I downloaded the last driver wavelan2_cs for the PCI
AirLancer. iwconfig says eth2 (the card) doesn't have wireless
extension. I guess it might be normal. I strangly have many things like:

Oct 23 23:24:08 fifo kernel: eth2: Transmit timeout.

in my log. my wireless.opts looks like :

        INFO="Wavelan IEEE example (Lucent default settings)"
        MODE="Ad-Hoc"
        RATE="auto"
        ESSID="3079ba"
        KEY="079ba"
        CHANNEL="1"

I then do setup manually the ip (192.168.2.1) and try to ping my
laptop. Nothing goes between.

Would anyone have an idea (or config file which work for you :)

Thanks.
