I have a 6.0-RC1 hostap, one senao pcmcia and one DWL-AG530 pci-card, the clients are using broadcom as ndis or orinoco as wi or senao as wi when not chosing the correct ifconfig options sequence either on the client or the hostap the wireless card is not configured correctly, example, this sequence appears to be correct: ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.2.1/29 media OFDM/54Mbps mediaopt hostap mode 11g ssid casa11g up when I do ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.2.1/29 mode 11g media OFDM/54Mbps mediaopt hostap ssid casa11g up i get an error: ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (media): Invalid argument I could get the same results for ath, wi(prism) and ndis as hostap or client on the client I get for example media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/54Mbps (DS/11Mbps) status: associated ssid casa channel 1 bssid or this media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet DS/11Mbps mode 11b (OFDM/54Mbps) status: associated ssid casa11g channel 1 bssid Fix: using the correct ifconfig sequence
so funny I think is this : ###################### on the AP(server) configured with 192.168.2.1/29 media OFDM/54Mbps mediaopt hostap mode 11g ssid casa11g up ath0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 192.168.2.7 ether 00:11:95:c2:2a:89 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/54Mbps mode 11g <hostap> status: associated ssid casa11g channel 2 bssid 00:11:95:c2:2a:89 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 50 protmode CTS dtimperiod 1 bintval 100 ###################### on client (broadcom as ndis) configured with 192.168.2.2/29 media OFDM/54Mbps ssid casa11g mode 11g bssid any up ndis0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.2.2 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 192.168.2.7 ether 00:14:a4:0e:b9:fc media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet DS/11Mbps mode 11b (OFDM/54Mbp= s) status: associated ssid casa11g channel 1 bssid 00:11:95:c2:2a:89 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS ####################### but configured with 192.168.2.2/29 media OFDM/54Mbps mode 11g ssid casa11g bssid any up I see ndis0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.2.2 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 192.168.2.7 ether 00:14:a4:0e:b9:fc media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/54Mbps mode 11g=20 (OFDM/54Mbps) status: associated ssid casa11g channel 1 bssid 00:11:95:c2:2a:89 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS ####################### please check on both, mode 11g with 11b and channel on the server I see channel 2 and on client channel 1 but at the end I have access with this wireless connections (both) Jo=E3o A mensagem foi scaneada pelo sistema de e-mail e pode ser considerada segura.
