Hi,
I've got a Netgear MA101 rev. B running (thanks to the guys from
atmel-wlan). Unfortunately I'm not able to configure this device with
iwconfig properly, so I have to run lvnet after every reboot.
I found a little shell script which looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
DEVICE="eth1"
ESSID="my_essid"
KEY="CCCC-CCCC-CCCC-CCCC-CCCC-CCCC-CC"
iwconfig $DEVICE mode Managed
iwconfig $DEVICE essid $ESSID
iwconfig $DEVICE mode managed
iwconfig $DEVICE rate 11M
iwconfig $DEVICE key $KEY [1]
iwconfig $DEVICE key [1] restricted
iwconfig $DEVICE key on
it's almost working, but please take a look at this:
bob root # iwconfig eth1
eth1 ATMEL RFMD503A ESSID:"my_essid" Nickname:"my_nickname"
Mode:Managed Channel:6 Access Point: 00:35:AC:22:D7:E4
Bit Rate:11Mb/s
RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B
Encryption key:CCCC-CCCC-CCCC-CCCC-CCCC-CCCC-CC Security
mode:restricted
Security mode:open
Link Quality:100 Signal level:20 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
when I use lvnet, I don't have Security mode twice (and I'm able to
connect to my ap using the latter). I already tried to understand the
way lvnet does the card's configuration by looking at the source code,
but I somehow couldn't find the relevant section. I would really
appreciate some hints.
Thanks in advance
