i was the guy who earlier posted the message regarding my wlan card catching the signal from the wrong access point. to tell in brief, i have two access points near my room with the same ESSID, my wlan card switches from one access point to the other every few minutes, whenever it catches the signal from one of the points my bandwidth goes low and signal strength is low as well, whenever it catches from the other, net speed is quite high. my problem is to bind premanently my wlan card to the correct access point. as members have sugested, i tried editing the wlan-ng.opts file in pcmcia folder, but in that file i dont have the entries for my wlan card. The configuratino for my wlan card is in another file called ifcfg-wlan0 in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices folder. the contents are: # Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt # for the documentation of these parameters. IPV6INIT=no ONBOOT=yes USERCTL=yes PEERDNS=yes GATEWAY= TYPE=Wireless DEVICE=wlan0 HWADDR=00:11:6b:32:de:5c BOOTPROTO=dhcp NETMASK= DHCP_HOSTNAME= IPADDR= DOMAIN= ESSID='IIIT WLAN' CHANNEL=13 MODE=Managed RATE='54 Mb/s' i tried adding an entry SCAN_BSSID but of no avail, still the BSSID keeps changing. good bye , have a nice time........ vishy ____________________________________________________ Send a rakhi to your brother, buy gifts and win attractive prizes.
