Hi, I have a Aries 3054 miniPCI b/g (from netgate.com). I have put it in a Soekris Net 4521 running pebble linux v37, which has the madwifi driver built-in.
So far I made it to here : pebble:~# iwconfig ath0 mode master essid "jodebaer" channel 10 pebble:~# iwpriv ath0 mode 2 // to force it to 11b <mapping sub-ioctl mode to cmd 0x8BE0-2> pebble:~# iwconfig ath0 ath0 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"jodebaer" Mode:Master Frequency:2.457GHz Access Point: 00:02:6F:20:4B:88 Bit Rate:0kb/s Tx-Power:off Sensitivity=0/3 Retry:off 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:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 pebble:~# ifconfig ath0 ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:6F:20:4B:88 inet addr:192.168.1.254 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:23 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:6 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:199 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:10 Memory:c4883000-c4893000 ... the Soekris has to serve as an access point for 2 WPC11-carded laptops. Now if I configure the WPC11 on a 'client' like below, shouldn't it see the AP? Can anyone confirm that my atheros is correctly configured? Because the laptops see nothing. laptop:~# iwconfig eth1 eth1 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"jodebaer" Nickname:"localhost.localdomain" Mode:Managed Access Point: 44:44:44:44:44:44 Bit Rate:2Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Sensitivity:1/3 Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0/92 Signal level:-68 dBm Noise level:-122 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 Thanks for any pointers ;-) ideally setting up a quick ad-hoc would be an easy way to test connectivity, but I guess this is not yet possible with madwifi?
