Re: [Madwifi-users] Re: Channel 12 workaround for 802.11a

[Ari P. <aj...@ar...>]

Sorry for the lack of info regarding the WPA branch, I didn't think it was
that important since that branch is under heavy development anyway.
Basically what happens with my AR5212 card and the WPA branch is that
neither "iwlist ap (or scan)" nor associating with an AP seem to work
unless I explicitly set "iwpriv mode 2" - mode 0 nor mode 3 work, so an
802.11g network is limited to 802.11b at 11Mb/s. When running "iwlist
scan" when the card is in a mode other than 2, it says "Failed to read
scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable". When trying to associate
with an AP in a mode other than 2, iwconfig just always shows an FF:FF..
AP address and a Bit Rate of 1 Mb/s, with a constantly changing frequency
and 0 link quality.
I think wireless works as long as I force mode 2, but don't quote me on
that one since I don't have a wireless network here that works with either
CVS branch at the moment.
I tried your latest change, but it didn't seem to make any difference.

But regardless, would be nice if I could get either branch working with my
Cisco AP (channel 1, 802.11g, WEP), though preferably HEAD.
