I've been working to get my Lucent Orinoco Gold on the Compaq iPAQ(linux) to talk to the Cisco 340 on my Laptop. I've gotten the Lucent card seemingly happy and working in IBSS mode.(Newest firmware and drivers.) The Cisco is also configured for IBSS/AdHoc as well as having the same SSID. (Newest firmware and drivers.) Pings sent from the Cisco side, make it to the Lucent side and are returned(as it looks from counters) however they never make it to the IP layer on the Cisco side on receipt. The error counter that's being incremented is HmacRxDiscard on the Cisco card. And the status being returned from interrupts that appear to occur from these packets is EV_UNKNOWN(0x800). So, where in this twisted chain of wireless could the problem lie and what else should I be checking? Thanks, -Steve |

steve i saw your post on the aironet linux driver email list (http://csl.cse.ucsc.edu/pipermail/aironet/2001-January/000828.html). i too am trying to get the ieee-compliant ad-hoc mode working on an ipaq, using linux. i have been unable to get the newest wavelan driver to work on the ipaq. the ipaq distro and handhelds.org includes v1.0.4 of the wvlan_cs.c driver, which works fine in managed mode, but as i am sure you know, does not support the ieee-compliant ad-hoc mode on the wavelans with new firmware. (e.g. firmware v6.16) i have built and installed the wvlan_cs.c v1.0.6 driver on my ipaq, but cannot get it work, even in managed mode. the ipaq can receive packets fine, but the card is not sending packets right. i.e. the driver is sending packets, the light on the card blinks, but no-one (e.g. my laptop) can receive the packets. i have also verified packets are being sent using netstat and debugging statements in the driver code. right now i am trying to back-port the new ad-hoc mode support into the v1.0.4 driver, i haven't gotten it to work yet, but i haven't broken the managed mode support at least... my other option is to use a cisco card on the ipaq. i built and installed the aironet driver, but it isn't working right... the card is able to contact a dhcp server and set up the network params, but then the network does not work, e.g. for pings. i have not even tried ad-hoc mode yet. i think we are in the same situation... except it is not clear to me: have you successfully used the new wavelan driver managed mode? when you say ``newest driver'' what version do you mean? what firmware? > incremented is HmacRxDiscard on the Cisco card.
