The channel/frequency can be changed by . . . echo "Channel: y" >> /proc/aironet/ethx/Config but the SSID must be unique when you do it. We now have an Aironet config script like so. #!/bin/sh echo random87834 > /proc/aironet/eth1/SSID sleep 5 echo Mode: adhoc > /proc/aironet/eth1/Config echo NodeName: "" > /proc/aironet/eth1/Config echo PowerMode: CAM > /proc/aironet/eth1/Config echo DataRates: 2 4 11 150 0 0 0 0 > /proc/aironet/eth1/Config echo WEP: open > /proc/aironet/eth1/Config echo XmitPower: 100 > /proc/aironet/eth1/Config echo Channel: 4 > /proc/aironet/eth1/Config echo Puppy > /proc/aironet/eth1/SSID > > 2. machine boots up as ad-hoc and we need it to be in access point... > i forget what string represents infrastructure mode, but echo "Mode: thatstring" >> /proc/aironet/ethx/Connfig should do it. -- karl m yerkes -- |

Currently, we are getting a maximum throughput of 3.6Mbps between two aironet stations. The stations are in Adhoc mode and the Status files _say_ that that they are working at 11Mbps and i believe them. Has anybody seen better results?? How? Who? -- karl m yerkes -- |

I've had sustained rates of 5-7 Mbps between to 4800PCI's in AdHoc mode, over the length of about half a football field (actually, it *was* half of an actual football field) This was direct line of sight with nothing blocking the view between the antennas (the little dipole ones.) We did have to sort of tweak the positioning of the boxes when we first set them up, apparently we were getting low rates at first, but once we nudged the boxes a bit, the bitrate came back up.
