Title: Wfi Not Working
Post by: seinfield on April 13, 2005, 03:58:41 pm: Hi, i can connect to hidden APÂ´s but with the SSID names without spaces.

Example:
I have at home a corega AP, the SSID is corega, it is hidden with mac protection and i can connect without problems.

Now at school:
There is a Apple AP, the SSID name is Apple Network 8286aa

Firts the wifi configuration does not accept spaces in the SSID name, so i created a new one but then i modified the wlan0 file configuration.
But i can not connect to AP.

Why?

I can see the Apple AP with wellenreiter, but i can not connect.

Post by: stupkid on April 13, 2005, 04:38:55 pm: Some questions:

1. Are you editing /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.opts?
2. What does the look like exactly for 'DesiredSSID='?
3. Is the DesiredSSID parameter in double quotes like this:

DesiredSSID="Apple Network 8286aa"

4. Does this line coorespond with the qpewlan* entry in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts?

I have connected to APs with spaces in the name it is ust the GUI that does not support them. So, it should work.

<<1. Are you editing /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.opts?

No, i modified wlan.conf file
I modified now

<<2. What does the look like exactly for 'DesiredSSID='?
Now is: Apple Network 8286aa

<<3. Is the DesiredSSID parameter in double quotes like this:

DesiredSSID="Apple Network 8286aa"

After i modified, yes

<<4. Does this line coorespond with the qpewlan* entry in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts?

There is no SSID name option in this file.

I will try this new modifications tomorrow or next week.

ThankÂ´s a lot!

Regards from Mexico.
