Sl550 As An Access Point
« on: March 25, 2006, 08:53:27 pm »
I've created many access points with the hostap modules. I can't seem to get a client to associate to this here zaurus sl5500. Here's the basic testing lines...Oh, card is linksys wcf12.

zaurus
---------
ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.1 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid kava
iwconfig wlan0 channel 6
iwconfig wlan0 mode master
iwconfig wlan0 key off

ifconfig wlan0  && iwconfig wlan0

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0C:41:DD:67:DE
          inet addr:10.0.0.1  Bcast:10.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::20c:41ff:fedd:67de/10 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0   TX bytes:360 (360.0
          Interrupt:35

Warning: Driver for device wlan0 recommend version 18 of Wireless Extension,
but has been compiled with version 16, therefore some driver features
may not be available...

wlan0     IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:"kava"
          Mode:Master  Frequency:2.417 GHz  Access Point: 00:0C:41:DD:67:DE
          Bit Rate:11 Mb/s   Sensitivity=1/3
          Retry min limit:8   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:22  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:9671   Missed beacon:0

Kismet on future client sees him, open and ready for clients...

Then on client I do, as always and has worked till the zaurus testing...

ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.2 up
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode managed channel 6 essid kava key off

dmesg is status disconnected line after line...

This has always worked till now, so there's a gotcha in here somewhere with the zaurus, any clues forum?

thanks again,
