It seems that it is receiving though.
Well, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels, channel 13 would be permitted in Europe (where I live). So mac80211 will never permit this, even if it's legal to use? I am having the same problem connecting to my wireless access point on channel 13: iwlist scan finds the device, but any attempt to associate, times out. I'm not sure if this would be a hardware limitation, or rather something in the firmware or driver preventing this. I have one machine (Apple Powermac G4), where I cannot associate to this AP, neither with bcm43xx, neither with b43. I'm not sure if this would be a hardware limitation, the firmware, or the Linux driver who is responsible. On another machine (i386 with a Broadcom based pc card), I succeed in associating to the access point on channel 13 with bcm43xx, but it fails with b43. Well, even in Windows using channel 13 is confusing: with a Windows machine having an Intel wireless chipset, with the default Windows utility, it fails to associate, but with the wireless tools from Intel, it succeeds... Maybe I should try with another channel soon to verify if that's really the reason why it does not work. -- Frederik _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
