Re: ipw2200-normal can't associate with ipw2200-ap

Hi,

Apparently, the reason is due to the quality of the network. I didn't put an antenna to the wireless cards.

When i put them very close together, it finally managed to associate. I guess that's the problem.

Perhaps there's a way to increase the TX Power? Can you perhaps teach me how to manually increase TX Power? And what's the good value to set for it?

Thanks.

    Hi,

I have a question to ask.

I managed to deploy ipw2200-normal driver on one embedded board   (stareast), and ipw2200-ap on   another.

I'm trying to associate the first board with the 2nd (Access   Point). However, it can't. I manually set the ESSID and the MAC Address, but   it still can't associate.

Therefore, I tried associating the station   with a Linksys WiFi router, and it managed to associate properly. Can   ping.
Then, I tried to connect to the 2nd board(ipw2200-ap) using a normal   laptop, and it also associated properly. Can ping.

I'm wondering what's   the problem when i tried to associate both boards to each other? Some forum   says that the AP didn't broadcast the ESSID. But, when i perform a scan, the   station could detect the AP.

Could anyone please provide me with sum   help? Really appreciate it.

 

We are not involved with the ipw2200-ap project and thus do not know the current status. Can you capture 
the logs of the ipw2200 driver when you try to associate? Perhaps we can find 
some hints in there about what is going on. You can load the module with 
debugging enabled (modprobe ipw2200 debug=0xffffffff) - check ipw2200.h for the 
specific debug flags that may be useful in this case.
