Hi, Before listing my problem I will let you know my configuration. I am using Cisco aironet 350 series card and the respective driver on red hat 8.0 with ethereal version 0.9.6 that comes with redhat 8.0.
My Basic Service Set includes two Access Points and one laptop with wireless card. My university has its own basic service set. But, I have specified the SSID's of my AP's so that the wirless laptops looks only for my AP's and not the university's AP. The problem description is as follows: After ethereal is started it captures packet for few minutes. After that it disassociates with my Access point and try to associate with my university's AP. With in a second it again disassociates with university's AP and associates with my AP and then keeps flip-flopping between the two AP's every second. This problem does not exists if I use some other softwares like Iperf and Mgen. The problem is also when I use TcpDump. So I beleive the problem is with the libpcap library used by both of them. I even tried to update the libpcap library with latest version 0.7.1. But on installation this version gives a weird message saying that the version 0.6.x installed on my system is newer than version 0.7.1 that I am trying to install. Can anybody help me please? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Platinum - Watch CBS' NCAA March Madness, live on your desktop! http://platinum.yahoo.com
