Re: [zd1211-devs] channel/region problem with Fiberline WL-430U
zd1211: AllowedChannel = 07ff zd1211: LinkLEDn = 200 AllowedChannel = 000107ff Region: 48 Why are the two AllowedChannel entries different? Why are there only 11 or 12 bits set although I'm in Europe where there are 13 channels usable? Or is this number not a bit pattern with each bit corresponds to a single channel? The following is what I remember from looking at the driver code and may not be totally accurate. If I didn't overlook anything Zydas hardcoded this bitmask in it's latest driver. (presumably to solve problems with devices that don't set it properly) It used to be retrieved from EEPROM. If I remember correctly each bit represents a channel and the bitmask is split up as follows: 000107ff = 0001 (default channel) 07ff (available/allowed channels) The first log entry represents the retrieved (but now hardcoded) allowed channel mask. The second entry has the default channel added. What does “Region: 48” mean? Is 48 intended to be a region code? That would be nonsense. 48 is the region code as defined by the official IEEE802.11 specs. If I remember correctly it stand for ETSI (most of Europe) / Taiwan region. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Could this lead to problems like not being able to connect to a semi-public WLAN because of an unsupported channel?
