Re: Problems with QoS features

after some checks, I see now that wmm is enabled in AP, but no
qos_ctrl fields anyway ...

I'm still checking if everything is fine with the AP, but the fact
that there are no qos_ctrl fields when wmm is enabled at the AP,
doesn't mean that the problems can be only with AP, right? If
QoS-enabled AP communicates with a legacy station, there wouldn't be
probably any qos fields in frames. So, this means that something can
be also wrong with my client part (installation ipw2200, firmware or
ieee80211). Are there any steps to check which part is ok or not
w.r.t. QoS?

Thanks to everyone for any help!!

Aleksej.
