|I am using a Cisco Aironet 352 pcmcia adapter for my notebook on Windows
|2000 and Linux.
|
|I want to associate it with a 3com 3crwe777a card running in HostAP mode
|on an OpenBSD machine.
|
|The problem that I have is that it works on linux but not on windows
|because the ACU for windows doesn't have the option "Use Home Network
|Configuration" which the ACU for linux does have.
|
|When I change this setting to "Use Enterprise Configuration" it gives me
|the same strange behavior as with windows. It can associate and
|everything looks normal but I cannot communicate with the AP (all pings
|get lost too).
|
|It's definitely not a problem with the OpenBSD machine or the 3com card
|because it works with "Use Home Network Configuration".
|
|So my question is if anybody knows what exactly that strange option does
|and how I can change that for my windows configuration too.
I don't think there is anything strange about the option; I always use the
enterprise configuration at home. In fact, I'd say that the home configuration
is more "strange" in the sense that it has a single WEP key which (I assume--
I've never tested it) is used regardless of the proffered index. Of course,
this doesn't explain why your ACU isn't allowing the home settings as an option.
Mine does. Maybe they eliminated them in newer versions? Are you using WEP
at all? If you have your key in the card's home-key slot but not in the normal
four slots (or at least one of them) it might explain the behavior you are
seeing.
