Client mode in the Devicescape stack has never been used with such a device. AP mode has been used like Simon mentioned previously. > Is this assumptions right, and if so, will it be changed and what help will > you need to do it? Yes, an option for the the low-level driver to configure it capabilities (or well, missing capabilities) should be added to allow hardware/firmware processing of various management tasks like association. I could try to do this for Prism2/2.5/3 which takes care of management frame processing in client mode. Please let me know if you have already done some changes for ipw2100 that would be generic to cover other drivers. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
