I'm doing some ad hoc networking with the Aironet 350 cards (firmware 4.25.23) on Linux 2.4 (with airo-Linux driver). Sometimes one or more of the nodes link quality goes to 176 and I can't get them to return to the ad hoc network. The only way I've found is to restart pcmcia and then set all the nodes to a new essid. Also, I've experimented with moving nodes in and out of range of each other, often I see the same behavior. They work, then move out of range, then move into range and they don't reconnect (the link quality stays at 176 forever). Has anyone had similar experiences? Does anyone know the reason (or a solution) to this problem? Thanks, Ian Chakeres |

Dear All, I have asked this question before but somehow it was not posted (or did I miss it??) 1) Does 'echo "Mode: y" >> /proc/driver/aironet/eth1/Config' really work? I have done this step and was able to go into "rfmon", but it does not seem to be picking up beacon frames other then those of the same SSID. Am I doing anything wrong here?? 2) Can I make a normal Aironet card work as an AP in linux? Any help will be great! Darren _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Okay, I can attest to the validity of ANYBSS working. ANYBSS mode was a crucial part in developing AirTraf, and when I ran AirTraf in an environment with multiple access points, I was able to pick up beacon frames of access points operating at different channels, although I don't quite remember whether those were of different SSID or not. But I don't really think that should matter... It would just not make sense why having different SSID would cause ANYBSS *not* to work, since to make that happen, you have to explicitly "cause" it to happen in the driver level (or firmware), and I don't see *any* benefit to having it operate that way. So I assume that it works properly. > > I have done this step and was able to go into "rfmon", but it does not > seem to be picking up beacon frames other then those of the same SSID. > Am I doing anything wrong here?? > First of all, if you are picking up beacon frames, and are able to extract the SSID info of the beacon frames, make sure you also pick up the channel info, because chances are, the access points share the same SSID. Also, make sure you *Can* get the beacon frames of other access points, it might just well be that the signals are too weak for you to pick up. > 2) Can I make a normal Aironet card work as an AP in linux? > Sorry I don't know anything about running aironet as an AP... -Peter K.

Hi all, I read that the WEP and its IVs generated by a Cisco setup is safe from Airsnort and WEPCrack. Are there any utilities currently that can compromise the Cisco APs? Otherwise, are they totally safe to use? Darren _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com |

Hi all, I just got a Ipaq and installed Linux onto it (Familiar 2.4.18). I have installed the Aironet modules but cannot seem to get the Cisco card started: "Unrecognized Card in slot 1" - it says. Any one managed to get the cisco 350 working on Ipaq + Linux? Please advise Darren _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
