[zd1211-devs] essid channel scan

[Brian _ <cp...@ho...>]

Regards tothe zd1211 list.  I am trying to develop a semi-managed ad-hoc net 
with zd1211 nodes.   When I "iwconfig wlan0 essid name", the driver scans 
through the frequencies, and if not finding it, returns to the last channel 
set when there was no essid specified.  I would like to have one node in my 
network that does not do the channel-scan regardless of settng the essid.  
Kind of like a "master" node.  The issue is that if one of the "client" 
nodes is powered first, it will generally go to channel 1 after not finding 
the essid, and a server node then will hunt to channel 1, even if the 
network expects to be on a different channel.    Also I am curious about 
ad-hoc bandwidth.  It seems that my ad-hoc networks can only carry about 1/4 
or 1/8 of the traffic as the same h/w in infrastructure mode.  Does setting 
RTS/CTS or FRAG help with this?  Thanks for any help!  - Brian
