Just updating...
It seens that I simply cannot connect in a mode other than managed. I
installed hostapd and tried to set the ath0 to master, in order to try to
reproduce the situation mentioned above for the B3/4.20 board. This leads
to this error:
conan init.d # ./net.ath0 start
* Starting ath0
* Configuring wireless network for ath0
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument.
* ath0 does not support setting the mode to "master"
* ath0 connected to ESSID "godcomm" at 00:00:00:00:00:00
* in managed mode on channel 3 (WEP enabled - open)
* Bringing up ath0
* 192.168.0.51
[ ok ]
* Adding routes
* default gw 192.168.0.1 ...
[ ok ]
The same happens when I try to set it to ad-hoc. One interesting thing to
notice here is that the MAC of the ESSID gets this strange null value;
anyway it does not seens to change the situation: I get connected to the
ESSID just the usual way, with the huge package losses taking place.
If on the other way I set it to "managed" mode:
conan init.d # ./net.ath0 start
* Starting ath0
* Configuring wireless network for ath0
* ath0 connected to ESSID "godcomm" at 00:15:E9:02:FC:32
* in managed mode on channel 3 (WEP enabled - open)
* Bringing up ath0
* 192.168.0.51
[ ok ]
* Adding routes
* default gw 192.168.0.1 ...
[ ok ]
Now the ESSID MAC is the correct one. But the package loss is still there.
There's another ticket around (476) which reports a similar MAC problem.
So maybe things could be interconnected...
