RE: [Madwifi-users] How to confirm whether my sta is associated to AP or not ??

Hello Saurav,
=20
If you do a iwconfig ath0 and then you have the Mac Address of the AP
displayed as well as the bit rate is above 1mb, I wouldl say that you
are associated.
=20
being able to do a ping is an other storry, since that means that you've
got an IP address !

Kind regards
patrick

Hi,
=20
I am using madwifi-ng-r1474-20060314 with linux kernel
2.6.11-1.1369_FC4-i686 ..........
=20
I am trying to associate my sta with one AP..
So I assigned  the AP's ssid to my sta...
=20
With older madwifi( madwifi-0.9.6.0 ), by only assigning the ssid ( the
same as that of the AP ) the station could automatically associate with
the AP ( as could be seen from the output of iwconfig... Access Point:
AP's mac address )....
=20
Now with madwif-ng, this does not happen...
So I used
                        Iwconfig ath0 ap 00:02:2D:18:1F:6F  to
associate...
=20
I am trying to ping the AP, but cannot...
So I want to confirm whether it has been associated or not !!!
=20
Thanks in advance :-)
