Title: SL5500 Wireless Settings - Card Turns Off (Suspends)
Post by: bajjer31 on March 11, 2004, 03:09:51 pm

Please help, as I am nearly at my wits end.  I have a Netgear MA701 card, SL5500 running the latest Sharp ROM.  Wireless networking is working just fine, as long as a network is present.  Kismet, kismet_qt, etc. all work.  However, I would like to scan using kismet between networks.  My problem is, if no network is present, the card turns itself off.  Is this preventable?  It would be nice if I could turn my WiFi card on, and have it stay on.  I believe I\'ve tried everything but the proper thing

Thanks in advance,
Bill

There is a way to do this.  I haven\'t yet, but there are some fairly extensive threads and should be a how-to in the doc section.  I haven\'t the time right now to set it all up and my Z is working wonderfully and I don\'t want to even think about changing it.  try searching for kismet and 3.10.  

Good Luck

THis is what you\'re looking for:

That works for either 5500 or the 5600.  I\'d add more, but this guy\'s nice enough to cover it all!  Good luck!

thank you both very much!  I figured there was a way, I was just searching for the wrong thread.
