Greetings,
I've been trying to get my Cisco 340 card to associate with a
generic intersil prism2.5:
wi0: <Intersil Prism2.5> mem 0xfebff000-0xfebfffff irq 11 at device 17.0 on pci0
wi0: 802.11 address: 00:90:4b:0d:ff:19
wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI)
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.00.05, Station 1.03.04
Most other cards work, except for a symbol card that I have. I've
been pulling out my hair trying to figure out what is going on.
If I crank up a prism2 card in sniff mode, I find that when the card
associates to another AP things go the way you'd expect from the
802.11 spec. AUTH request goes out from the cisco card, ctl-ack goes
out from AP, AUTH reply goes out from AP to cisco, ctl-ack goes out
from Cisco card to AP. Rest of association happens as you'd expect.
When I try it with the FreeBSD AP with the above card I see something
different. I see AUTH From Cisco to AP, ctl-ack from AP to cisco.
AUTH from AP to Cisco. No ctl-ack goes back, and the cisco keeps
sending the AUTH messages. The driver debugs tells me that I'm still
sending AUTH responses, but I don't see anything on the air.
After several days of debugging, I can get no further into this
problem. Matt Peterson suggested that sending mail here might be a
good place to find out differences with Cisco cards and other cards or
someplace to look for the problems. Or at the very least suggestions
for how to track it down....
Please excuse the intrusion of that suggestion isn't the case.
