A few additions and corrections. Feel free not to include them if they are irrelevant to your document. It's just for your information. I put slightly improved version of prism2dl here: http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/prism2dl/ It should be easier to use, but it's not _safer_ to use than the original version. In particular, it still allows flashing firmware intended for RAM download. Upgrading primary firmware without secondary firmware make the card non-functional. That card acts as if it only has primary firmware. The secondary firmware should be flashed after that. prism2dl is good for that, prism2_srec is not (yet). I haven't tried winupdate. The DOS based flash.exe should be OK. prism2_srec cannot be used to upgrade primary firmware because it cannot upgrade both firmwares in the same time and it cannot deal with a card without working secondary firmware. You probably should specify what Windows driver should be installed. winupdate is picky. I know that the driver for Linksys WPC11 v2.5 is OK. The latest primary firmware for USB devices appears to be 1.1.2, but it's not available for other devices. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin From proski at gnu.org Tue Jul 1 18:44:39 2003 From: proski at gnu.org (Pavel Roskin) Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2003 18:44:39 -0400 (EDT) Subject: 1.7.4 firmware as S-record, finally In-Reply-To: <20030701220754.GA21939@fog.sekrit.org> References: <20030701220754.GA21939@fog.sekrit.org> Message-ID: On Tue, 1 Jul 2003, Gerald Britton wrote: > Is it possible to upgrade to PRI 1.1.1 with prism2_srec these days? No. I sent a message saying so seconds ago. You are reading my thoughts :-) Use linux-wlan-ng and prism2dl or DOS/Windows utilities.

The AP would constantly pop in and out of existance. The card behaved as thought it were constantly resetting itself as soon as it was finished initalizing. 2: We were on sta firmware 1.4.9 and were seeing the error messages below in the logs. After about 24-48 hours, clients could no longer associate. As existing clients would disassociate, no more would come on so eventually the mac table in the card would go to a count of 0 clients. 3: I have recently flashed several of our cards with 1.5.6 in the intrerest of solving the problem we are seeing in 1.4.9. My gut tells me we are hitting up against some kind of performance barrier of the intersil firmware or chipset.

Accordingly, I tried the following : [root at nanak hostap]# make hostap gcc -I/usr/src/linux/include -O2 -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -Wall -g -c -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h -fomit-frame-pointer -E -D__GENKSYMS__ driver/modules/hostap.c | \ /sbin/genksyms -k 2.4.20 > driver/modules/hostap.ver In file included from driver/modules/hostap.c:21: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/module.h:15:1: warning: "_set_ver" redefined In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h:3, from :1: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modsetver.h:9:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition gcc -I/usr/src/linux/include -O2 -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -Wall -g -c -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h -fomit-frame-pointer -E -D__GENKSYMS__ driver/modules/hostap_crypt.c | \ /sbin/genksyms -k 2.4.20 > driver/modules/hostap_crypt.ver In file included from driver/modules/hostap_crypt.c:18: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/module.h:15:1: warning: "_set_ver" redefined In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h:3, from :1: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modsetver.h:9:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition gcc -I/usr/src/linux/include -include driver/modules/hostap_crypt.ver -include driver/modules/hostap.ver -O2 -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -Wall -g -c -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h -fomit-frame-pointer -o driver/modules/hostap.o driver/modules/hostap.c [root at nanak hostap]# make pccard gcc -I/usr/src/linux/include -include driver/modules/hostap_crypt.ver -include driver/modules/hostap.ver -O2 -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -Wall -g -c -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h -fomit-frame-pointer -o driver/modules/hostap_cs.o driver/modules/hostap_cs.c gcc -I/usr/src/linux/include -include driver/modules/hostap_crypt.ver -include driver/modules/hostap.ver -O2 -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -Wall -g -c -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h -fomit-frame-pointer -o driver/modules/hostap_crypt.o driver/modules/hostap_crypt.c gcc -I/usr/src/linux/include -include driver/modules/hostap_crypt.ver -include driver/modules/hostap.ver -O2 -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -Wall -g -c -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h -fomit-frame-pointer -o driver/modules/hostap_crypt_wep.o driver/modules/hostap_crypt_wep.c Run 'make install_pccard' as root to install hostap_cs.o Run 'make install_plx' as root to install hostap_plx.o Run 'make install_pci' as root to install hostap_pci.o [root at nanak hostap]# make install_pccard Installing hostap_crypt*.o to /lib/modules/2.4.20-LAPTOP-APR082003/net mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.4.20-LAPTOP-APR082003/net cp -f driver/modules/hostap_crypt*.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-LAPTOP-APR082003/net Installing hostap.o to /lib/modules/2.4.20-LAPTOP-APR082003/net mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.4.20-LAPTOP-APR082003/net cp -f driver/modules/hostap.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-LAPTOP-APR082003/net Installing hostap_cs.o to /lib/modules/2.4.20-LAPTOP-APR082003/pcmcia mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.4.20-LAPTOP-APR082003/pcmcia cp -f driver/modules/hostap_cs.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-LAPTOP-APR082003/pcmcia /sbin/depmod -ae Relevant section of my /etc/modules.conf : alias eth0 eepro100 #alias eth1 orinoco_cs alias wlan0 cisco_ipsec alias wlan0 hostap_pci #alias eth1 hostap_pci For some strange reason, the redhat tool "neat" does not permit creation of anything other than ethX.

I have a MA401 running fine on SuSE 8.2, but unfortunately Linux is completely retarded in terms of IRQ allocation and doesn't allocate IRQs in a manner suitable for me to use a PCMCIA modem and the MA401 at the same time (there is only one free IRQ after sorting out the PCI devices, and I would need two for the modem and the MA401). - -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- chris at chrishowells.co.uk, howells at kde.org Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP ID: 33795A2C KDE/Qt/C++ Developer: http://www.kde.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/A4fiF8Iu1zN5WiwRAkP7AJ4l+xV0W+U2th8LBPkJWPORJop/mgCgpYiA 7Hsf8gOj3biiXyfZX4seEuc= =Fkwn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From rafaela at gsyc.escet.urjc.es Thu Jul 3 07:16:56 2003 From: rafaela at gsyc.escet.urjc.es (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Rafaela_Gonz=E1lez-Careaga?=) Date: Thu, 03 Jul 2003 13:16:56 +0200 Subject: PCI Adapter + Wireless Card + Debian 2.4.20 Message-ID: <3F0410A8.4050008@gsyc.escet.urjc.es> Hello, I am using a US Robotics PCI Adapter (USR012415) and an Belkin Wireless Card, to try to use Wireless networking on my Desktop with DEbian 2.4.10.

If it's really a PCMCIA bridge ( and not a PLX adapter ), you just need to rebuild your kernel this the PCMCIA and Cardbus support, and then install the pcmcia-cs package runnig as root "apt-get install pcmcia-cs". Then, build the pccard support in hostap by running "make pccard install_pccard" in the source directory of hostap. If it's a PLX adapter, you just need to compile the PLX support on hostap ( i don't remember the rule so type "make help" :) ). Please, can you try to be more precise when you are asking for help because we can't guess what is the "US Robotics PCI Adapter (USR012415)" ( PLX or true PCCARD ), and we have other things to do that googlize it. ++ On Thu, Jul 03, 2003 at 01:16:56PM +0200, Rafaela Gonz?lez-Careaga wrote: > Hello, > > I am using a US Robotics PCI Adapter (USR012415) and an Belkin Wireless > Card, to try to use Wireless networking on my Desktop with DEbian 2.4.10. > Mi system can recognize the PCI adapter, (I can see it in /proc/pci) but > it does not see the wireless card, > I don't know what to bdo, also I am not an expert with Linux > Anythinh that can help > Thanks in advance > > > _______________________________________________ > HostAP mailing list > HostAP at shmoo.com > http://lists.shmoo.com/mailman/listinfo/hostap From mumu at chimera.cz Thu Jul 3 05:44:33 2003 From: mumu at chimera.cz (Milos Sramek) Date: Thu, 3 Jul 2003 11:44:33 +0200 Subject: Error message> wlan0: SW TICK stuck?

This topic was discussed a few days ago, but there was no final solution... I have a DWL650 (Prism2.5) Pri 1.1.1, Sta 1.7.4 and hostap 0.0.3 in use. First, trying to hide the ssid via "iwpriv prism2_param enh_sec 1" does not succeed, my WindowsXP-client still finds the ap. The driver accepts and sets the parameter successfully ("iwpriv getprism2_param enh_sec" shows the right value). Second, I also used the parameters 2 and 3 and got an error like Interface doesn't accept private ioctl... prism2_param (8BE0): Invalid argument Is the 1.7.4 still buggy or did I mess up with something? Thank you for your answers in advance :-) Bastian From yannick.marcq at ar-k-dia.net Thu Jul 3 05:42:41 2003 From: yannick.marcq at ar-k-dia.net (Yannick Marcq) Date: Thu, 03 Jul 2003 11:42:41 +0200 Subject: Netgear MA311 + hostap: seg fault :'( In-Reply-To: <3EF893D6.3050403@ar-k-dia.net> References: <3EF6C375.5030403@ar-k-dia.net> <200306240700.h5O70Cu15498@Port.imtp.ilyichevsk.odessa.ua> <3EF893D6.3050403@ar-k-dia.net> Message-ID: <3F03FA91.40602@ar-k-dia.net> After a crash of my hd I have moved to the 'testing' version of debian, an rebuilt a 2.4.20 kernel, with the hostap patch to build everything at the same time and ... it works. Maybe an old library has a conflict with hostap, even something in an older version of iptables ? I don't know, but hostap and hostapd work fine now :-) Yannick.

I don't really care that much about these warnings since we are talking about using the driver with Linux wireless extensions disabled.. hostapd does not work with that kind of configuration and will probably never work. I would not have much problems with requiring WIRELESS_EXT for Host AP driver anyway.. It was just easy enough to make the compilation work so now it uses some more #if blocks and might at least work in some sort of minimal mode without WIRELESS_EXT. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA From imp at airlinktek.com Fri Jul 4 01:16:21 2003 From: imp at airlinktek.com (imp) Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2003 14:16:21 +0900 Subject: Detect link state ?

C) has a different chipset. this is what jun sun said about this a few days ago on this mailinglist: > Look at the cover of the box. Rev A and B has a metal boxy cover with > color prints, while Rev C does not. Rev C only shows bare chips. dont buy a DWL-520+ - this card is not supported. i use hostap-0.0.3 at the moment and it works fine. concerning antennas, you might want to read http://www.personaltelco.net/index.cgi/AntennaInfo or http://www.qsl.net/n9zia/index.html for more theoretical stuff. there are lots of other webpages concerning this topic, that i dont remember. bruno -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/BWEyfg2jtUL97G4RAoTZAJ9e7X3yy2Ux7qlgQmlCLMAT5edMKQCgjiSJ 5Wk/9eCk0mU/q+kVySXLvH8= =WTue -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From antonio.vilei at unile.it Fri Jul 4 08:03:04 2003 From: antonio.vilei at unile.it (Antonio Vilei) Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2003 14:03:04 +0200 Subject: Detect link state ?

Or, SIMPLER, make install will move automatically the .o in the correct destination directory and will do the depmod -a for you If you have unresolved symbols when you load hostap_pci (or hostap_cs or hostap_plx) it means that your development kernel version and your running kernel version don't match ! Be sure that your modules where compiled with the same version (label above all) of kernel you're are running under. Be also sure that the kernel you are running had Hermes Chipset support checked.

Message-ID: <20030707024916.92352.qmail@web41412.mail.yahoo.com> Hi all, I guess, i have configured hostap drivers with my SMC card. I have doubt regarding the operations of hostap. I would like to understand more about hostap. As far my understanding, Hostap: as the name, allows our machine, to act as a accesspoint. It is a software which emulates the behaviour of the accesspoint. However, my aim is not to make it behave like an accesspoint and have one more wireless lan (WIRELESSLAN2). I already have got a wireless LAN, which has MAC address filtering. (WIRELESSLAN1) I am using Libradiate, and am trying to inject a packet on the wireless network. This is my ultimate motive. I am confused abt the following: 1)If Libradiate uses Hostap. This means i have to configure my ifcfg-wlan0 with a different network alltogether. (WIRELESSLAN2) (with my machine -with hostap module acting as an accesspoint). (Am I right?) However i want to emulate a client to client attack in my already existing wireless LAN (WIRELESSLAN1), which means that i should configure my wlan0 interface, as a client to this wireless lan (WIRELESSLAN1). I am getting problems in configuring this. My routing table shows: [root at vaidehi inject]# route ernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 129.93.68.128 * 255.255.255.128 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default kickapoo-2.cs.u 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Clearly, it does not have any wlan0 enteries.

Even two cards in one machine would be nice. Anybody done this? I've never tried it.

I'm asking this because... There's performance problems when there is more than one wlan in a computer. If someone begins a big download or upload against one HostAP, the other suffers from heavy trafikloss and lag. Have been like this in every (stable) version I've tested. We have five pci cards and I don't like the idea to have 5 computers for them. Have tested with only 2 cards too, same behavior. The temporary solution I'm using now is LARTC HTB filtering and "shapes" trafic down under 1Mbit.

The cards will be running cables up to a roof where there will be seperate antannaes facing in completely different directions (point to point links). I got a few private emails; somebody pointed out that one issue they've had is the cards 'jam' each other (interference), I'm guessing this is due to the poor shielding most cards have. But apparently the hostap driver handles more then one card fine; which is great (I remember issues a while ago with having multiple orinoco cards, and the kernel driver spitting chips). Ack. Anybody had any real life experiences with all this, and how they got around all the problems?

It is possible to run more than one card controlled by hostap driver. Anyway, besides channel spacing, if you insert too many cards, you will also face CPU load problems. Remember that the Prism2 cards use PIO (programmed I/O), so the CPU is involved in any data transfer from the card to the host memory. Please dig into the mailing list archives and you will find more details on this topic.

What I want to do is this: * Mandrake 9.1 IBM Thinkpad i1400 series * Alcatel Speed Touch USB ADSL modem * Proxim RangeLAN card in HostAP mode * Routing (NOT bridging) between USB modem (device ppp0) and HostAP I got the notebook working properly after a couple of false starts. I then got the USB modem working. After that, I compiled and installed latest CVS snapshot (I guess that would be for 7/7/03) of HostAP, and that went without a hitch. This is where the trouble comes in. 1. I read that I should use when compiling. Is this correct? What do I need hostapd for? 2. Every document or HOWTO I've found seems to focus on bridging. I want to route. I might be adding an ethernet interface at a later date, and so routing from the start is preferable. 3. I've found no information on any config files to permanently set things like ESSID, CHANNEL, etc. All HOWTO's just give iwconfig commands to issue to get up and running, but no permanent solution. 4. iwconfig returns entries for wlan0 and wlan0ap. Is this correct? 5. Once I get all this working, I want to setup PPTP layered over wlan0. Is this possible? How difficult will it be? Can someone help with these problems?

I wonder if there is more elegant way to do it. The elegant way would be to implement it in Wireless Tools, but you need to explain very clearly why you need to reset all driver parameters. If you are doing development and you need to reproduce exactly the same state of the driver, I don't think it would justify adding code to Wireless Tools. In fact, you are supposed to power down the system or at least the card to have more or less clean results. But if you have some other reasons, they may be good enough to justify a "reset" command. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin From proski at gnu.org Mon Jul 7 18:49:15 2003 From: proski at gnu.org (Pavel Roskin) Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2003 18:49:15 -0400 (EDT) Subject: openap vs hostap.... what is the difference?

Yes. cardmgr needs to know which driver to load. wlan-ng config file in /etc/pcmcia will take precedence over the one for HostAP because cardmgr includes *.conf files in alphabetic order, and last entries take precedence. To avoid it, put your local config entries to /etc/pcmcia/zlocal.conf - it works just fine for me. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin From sgala at hisitech.com Mon Jul 7 19:02:08 2003 From: sgala at hisitech.com (Santiago Gala) Date: Tue, 08 Jul 2003 01:02:08 +0200 Subject: help needed setting up a router / access point In-Reply-To: <20030707231011.07ec3182.sweisman@pobox.com> References: <20030707231011.07ec3182.sweisman@pobox.com> Message-ID: <3F09FBF0.4010100@hisitech.com> Scott Weisman escribi?: > Hello, > > I've been lurking on this list for a while now, and reading up on how to use > HostAP, and I finally got all the equipment to do what I need. > > What I want to do is this: > > * Mandrake 9.1 IBM Thinkpad i1400 series > > * Alcatel Speed Touch USB ADSL modem > > * Proxim RangeLAN card in HostAP mode > > * Routing (NOT bridging) between USB modem (device ppp0) and HostAP > > I got the notebook working properly after a couple of false starts.

To: Thomas Chen Cc: hostap at shmoo.com Message-ID: Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hello! Answering the subject - HostAP is part of OpenAP. I asked OpenAP guys to put it on their homepage (not just under "credits") because this question is asked many times. But they are probably too busy. In fact, the OpenAP mailing list has been dead since June 1. So here's the second difference - HostAP is being actively developed, OpenAP is almost dead, unofficial forks notwithstanding. > also... is there any incompatiblity if wlan-ng and hostap are > both installed ? Yes. cardmgr needs to know which driver to load. wlan-ng config file in /etc/pcmcia will take precedence over the one for HostAP because cardmgr includes *.conf files in alphabetic order, and last entries take precedence. To avoid it, put your local config entries to /etc/pcmcia/zlocal.conf - it works just fine for me. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

It would be much more useful if you mentioned where you looked for the answers. All you are asking is documented, but probably not in the right place if you couldn't find the answer. Also, if you have the hardware it's more useful for others if you check and report your problems if any. The answer is yes to both questions. Support for Lucent cards in HostAP is very limited. In particular, WEP and Managed mode are not supported. You are better off using hermesap if you need it. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin From Kalle.Valo at radionet.fi Tue Jul 8 01:48:41 2003 From: Kalle.Valo at radionet.fi (Kalle Valo) Date: 08 Jul 2003 08:48:41 +0300 Subject: Another kind of host based AP In-Reply-To: <20030707235611.GC7379@gateway.junsun.net> References: <20030707233019.5616.qmail@web41608.mail.yahoo.com> <20030707235611.GC7379@gateway.junsun.net> Message-ID: <87znjph8li.kvalo.fsf@radionet.fi> Jun Sun writes: > > FYI, just found this link from linux format magazine: > > www.rosewlan.com > > They are using hostap driver, if I remembered correctly.

Prior to this I used prism2_srec to upgrade my NICs firmware to RF010702.HEX firmware 3. I then put my NIC in monitor mode to sniff 802.11 packets using Ethereal using the command iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor Ethereal works just fine and picks up all the .11 frames PROBLEM: ======== 4. I now tried to associate another STA with the AP. Unexpectedly, my NIC card that was in monitor mode started replying to probe requests from the STA.

I google'd a bit and found (http://sisyphus.iocaine.com/pipermail/hostap/2003-May/002758.html) that problem might be somewhere in skb_put() call in the driver (i don't have direct access to servers, so i couldn't read the 'real' reason for the kernel panic).

I haven't seen this happening in my tests since my card did not seem to report triggering data_len values (STA f/w 1.5.6). However, I noticed that my card seemed to be delivering many Acknowledgement frames with invalid data_len and previous version of the driver was dropping these. Making this work better required a bit different patch from yours, but it should also fix the special cases. Please let me know if this version does not fix the hangs you have been seeing. I modified the RX path to accept such cases in monitor mode and handle shorter than RX desc skb's properly. These seemed to improve monitor mode operations at least for quick bursts of frames.

Older versions of HostAP didn't work or it was bad luck. However, I need to run "iwpriv wlan0 reset 2" to make the card report the right BSSID (the AP MAC address). The BSSID reported initially is bogus. Also, I don't expect WEP to work. And scanning should be broken as well. > So I'm asking myself... how does this card, which is not even a prism card > work in managed mode? and would it be possible to get HostAP mode on it with > a different firmware/changes on the driver/any other way? Prism, Lucent and Symbol chipsets are brothers. They have a common ancestor - Choice CW10. I don't expect Symbol or Lucent cards to work in HostAP mode because I don't think the firmware supports it. You can load tertiary firmware to Lucent cards - look for "hermesap" on the web. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin From vaidehi_30 at yahoo.com Wed Jul 9 20:22:20 2003 From: vaidehi_30 at yahoo.com (Vaidehi Kasarekar) Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2003 17:22:20 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Hostap and zoomair4100 Message-ID: <20030710002220.36555.qmail@web41408.mail.yahoo.com> Hello, I am really confused regarding Hostap.

Host AP driver uses a software watchdog to detect busy looping IRQ events.

I believe what I found out related to monitor mode has a lot to do with another small issue when trying to enter mater mode, and it is that you must set an essid to enter master, it doesn't suffice to have an essid set via essid any as shows this example: ace:~# iwconfig wlan0 wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"beta.wl" Nickname:"ace" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412GHz Access Point: 00:50:C2:10:90:B3 Bit Rate:2Mb/s Tx-Power:7 dBm Sensitivity=1/242700000 Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:28/1 Signal level:-83 dBm Noise level:-100 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:2 Missed beacon:0 ace:~# iwconfig wlan0 mode master Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. ace:~# iwconfig wlan0 essid beta.wl ace:~# iwconfig wlan0 mode master ace:~# iwconfig wlan0 wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"beta.wl" Nickname:"ace" Mode:Master Frequency:2.427GHz Access Point: 00:50:C2:10:92:6A Bit Rate:11Mb/s Tx-Power:6 dBm Sensitivity=1/242700000 Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:28/1 Signal level:-83 dBm Noise level:-100 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:5 Missed beacon:0 Well, similarly, you must set an essid before getting into monitor mode, if you don't do it and the essid is set to "" (any without having register to any AP), you'll find that you cannot set the frequencies under monitor mode and everything becomes borked, like I show here, even though kismet starts up, only that the hopper is disabled because of the frequencies problem: ace:~# iwconfig wlan0 wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"" Nickname:"ace" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412GHz Access Point: 44:44:44:44:44:44 Bit Rate:2Mb/s Tx-Power:-3 dBm Sensitivity=1/242700000 Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0/1 Signal level:-100 dBm Noise level:-100 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:7 Missed beacon:0 ace:~# prism2_param wlan0 monitor_type 1 ace:~# iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor ace:~# iwconfig wlan0 channel 6 Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. ace:~# iwconfig wlan0 mode managed Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.

It seems to me that you are using a clone (Lucent of Symbol), not a real Prism chipset. Clones don't support master mode.

Take > version 26 and recompile it against the kernel you are using. Debian has version 26 in the repository. The problem is, that the packages is build with FORCE_WEXT_VERSION = 16, giving you this kind of problem, if you have a kernel with an older version installed (vanilla 2.4.21).

The documentation was really helpful. I wanted my laptop to configure as a client. My only mistake was, i was not associating wlan0 with my wireless network. Associating the card with essid of my accesspoint solved my problem. Though a simple solution, being a newbei, it never stiked my mind... I always thought that its coz of my network configuration settings or coz of some incompatibilities between firmware versions or because hostap cant be used in a pure client mode, or prism2 firmware issue, or my kernel and pcmcia versions are incompatible.....the list was unending and i was confused. :) PHEW!! My old firmware SMC card 2632W also worked with the current version of hostap. I am happy, it worked with SMC.

Basically, everything works, but when transferring a large file from elsewhere to my computer, the transfer stops happening somewhere in the middle, hangs there a good long while (I mean the transfer hangs, not the computer), and then gets a timeout. This problem does not appear when the transfer is from my computer to elsewhere. Or at least it's enough better that I haven't seen it yet. The problem is severe enough that it's basically impossible to transfer a megabyte file to this machine via wireless. I do get some suspicious looking stuff in dmesg, though not at a great rate (typically a few messages per hour, sample below). Haven't seen anything funny in /var/log/messages. I haven't managed to turn up any similar sounding problem in a random perusal of the list archives, but has anybody seen anything like this? Or have a clue what it is? Some details below.

Is ther a bug in the > driver or driver can't read txpower correctly? TX power setting is a hack in the driver. The units are not correct in most cases and anything over 100 mW is mapped to the maximum raw value in the wlan card and the returned value is just calculated directly from the value you used. In addition, it will only set the raw value in the baseband processor which is not the best way of controlling TX power. In most cases, I would not use this configuration item since the default (let the station firmware control TX power) is better option. I'm mostly using this item to limit the power to minimum so that the range of the AP gets smaller. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA From jkmaline at cc.hut.fi Fri Jul 11 04:48:26 2003 From: jkmaline at cc.hut.fi (Jouni Malinen) Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2003 11:48:26 +0300 Subject: problems caused by ESSID not being set In-Reply-To: <20030710181149.GA1738@man.beta.es> References: <20030710181149.GA1738@man.beta.es> Message-ID: <20030711084826.GD4013@jm.kir.nu> On Thu, Jul 10, 2003 at 08:11:49PM +0200, Santiago Garcia Mantinan wrote: > I believe what I found out related to monitor mode has a lot to do with > another small issue when trying to enter mater mode, and it is that you must > set an essid to enter master, it doesn't suffice to have an essid set via > essid any as shows this example: Prism2 has two different SSID configuration items (desired and own). Setting essid to 'any' and then associating with an AP does not set these SSIDs to non-empty values. Prism2 station firmware gets really confused if Host AP mode is entered in such a state and Host AP driver thus rejects the request to use Master mode with such a configuration. > Well, similarly, you must set an essid before getting into monitor mode, if > you don't do it and the essid is set to "" (any without having register to > any AP), you'll find that you cannot set the frequencies under monitor mode > and everything becomes borked, like I show here, even though kismet starts > up, only that the hopper is disabled because of the frequencies problem: Yes, this is an example of the Host AP mode confusion in the firmware.. Current version of the driver uses Host AP mode in Monitor mode. This should probably be changed to use pseudo-IBSS instead. Actually, the driver first tries this and only later goes to Host AP mode. I'll fix this at some point. However, this might need to be configurable, since Host AP mode seems to allow a bit less limited sending of some frames when the card is in monitor test mode. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA From jkmaline at cc.hut.fi Fri Jul 11 06:44:02 2003 From: jkmaline at cc.hut.fi (Jouni Malinen) Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2003 13:44:02 +0300 Subject: Hstapd configuration parser bugs In-Reply-To: <3F0EF1F6.7060602@rfmd.com> References: <3F0EF1F6.7060602@rfmd.com> Message-ID: <20030711104402.GA3270@jm.kir.nu> On Fri, Jul 11, 2003 at 02:20:54PM -0300, Oleg Izhvanov wrote: > There are several bugs in the implementation of configuration parser in > the hostapd, synopsis: > > 1.

These changes were only for Monitor mode. If you are talking about problems with other modes, I do not think they were affected at all. If you can give some more details about SMP issues, please let me know quite soon.

Message-ID: <20030712001432.13990.qmail@web14206.mail.yahoo.com> I'm trying to buy another hostap-compatible PCI card. The cards I've been using are D-Link DWL-520 cards. As other people have no doubt noticed, there is a massive jumble of cards all called DWL-520, many of which have random non-Prism chipsets. I've already bought one of these on ebay.com accidentally. Are hostap-compatible cards starting to become hard to find and buy? Can someone give me a recommendation or suggestion about where to look for a hostap-compatible PCI card? Are there any PCI cards on sale at a place like Fry's or Best Buy or Circuit City that would be hostap-compatible? Any source on the web for a PCI hostap-compatible card? I've been scouring ebay.com for days, and have not seen a DWL-520 that looks right to me, at least based on the photographs of the cards. (By "right", I mean one that has the same visual appearance as the ones I currently own and know work.) My (working) card has a rather large (maybe 1.5" x 1.5") blue and white chip that is very thin (maybe 1/8" thick). I have seen ebay.com ads for "DWL-520" cards that don't look the same as mine, but might work. They have a very large, quite thick chip on the card that is blue and white. An example is on ebay.com at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3034330524&category=45001 Could someone check that site out and let me know if that is a hostap-compatible card? I'd really like to avoid stocking up on every variant of the DWL-520 that is incompatible with hostap if possible! ;-) Thanks in advance! (Starting to get desperate here..)

I did not test STA f/w 1.7.4 now, but there was a problem in the driver not resetting Port0 after changing enh_sec value. At least with v1.7.1, Port0 must be resetted to take some of these changes into use. Apparently, beacons do not change before this, but the ignore SSID part may change even without reset. I fixed this in the CVS version, so either update to the current CVS snapshot or run 'iwpriv wlan0 reset 2' after setting enh_sec as a workaround. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA From jkmaline at cc.hut.fi Sat Jul 12 11:31:04 2003 From: jkmaline at cc.hut.fi (Jouni Malinen) Date: Sat, 12 Jul 2003 18:31:04 +0300 Subject: JoinRequest without Scan ? / Manual scan/roam mode In-Reply-To: <200305050952.h459qNj20849@horus.imag.fr> References: <200305050952.h459qNj20849@horus.imag.fr> Message-ID: <20030712153104.GA4300@jm.kir.nu> On Mon, May 05, 2003 at 11:52:23AM +0200, Laurentiu-Sorin Paun wrote: > I am working on a load balancing architecture which allow mobile hosts to know > about the current load of different access points and to handoff from one AP > to another in order to have more bandwith available. > But the scan is a time consuming procedure (between 150 and 400 ms, in > function of the number of channels scanned and the activity on each of these > channels), and the JoinRequest (authentication and association) time is only > about 10-20 ms.

Prism2 does indeed support yet another roaming mode in which automatic scanning is disabled. I just added support for this into the CVS version of the driver. I implemented this in a way that allows full control of the roaming (both scanning and roaming decision) to user space using Linux wireless extensions. In this way, it is up to the user to decide whether active IEEE 802.11 scan of all channels is needed or not. One should even be able to skip all 802.11 scans and use external mechanism to collect information about neighboring APs. I wrote some documentation for this feature, so please check README file in CVS for more information. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA From puttputt at iaccess.ws Sat Jul 12 11:41:37 2003 From: puttputt at iaccess.ws (Robert Davidson) Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2003 01:41:37 +1000 Subject: Prism chipset differences (off-topic I suppose) Message-ID: <3F102C31.3090206@iaccess.ws> Hi All, Just wondering if there is a web page or document out there that describes the differences between the Prism 2/2.5/3 chipsets?

Prism2 station firmware supports two different methods of sending/receiving data frames. One can use either IEEE 802.11 header or IEEE 802.3 header. In case of 802.3, station firmware generates IEEE 802.11 header based on the address fields. Management frames can only be sent with IEEE 802.11 headers and Host AP driver uses this format also for data frames. IEEE 802.3 mode hides some 802.11 details and in theory could be easier to use in the driver (if the driver is only using normal data frames and does not care about Host AP mode or WDS, etc.). > I've seen that setting 802.11 data_len field in this struct requires > cpu_to_le16, so the card uses little endian; setting 802.3 len field in this > struct requires cpu_to_be16, so the card (or another part of it) uses big > endian for this field. Yes, Prism2 is little endian. However, 802.3 format is big endian (network byte order). -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA From sndbeat at yahoo.com Mon Jul 14 11:17:32 2003 From: sndbeat at yahoo.com (Vic Berdin) Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2003 08:17:32 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Regarding AP and STA functionality In-Reply-To: <20030714120010.89CC024531@mail.iocaine.com> Message-ID: <20030714151732.64819.qmail@web10407.mail.yahoo.com> Hi, Although hostap may not be best suited for non-AP functionality, yes it is possible by simply changing operational mode on the fly using wireless tools. You can also opt to make use of orinoco_cs for STA operations, and have a script that should at first, start out using orinoco_cs (STA), then if an AP is not detected, copy 'hostap.conf' and dump it in /etc/pcmcia/., then restart cardmgr. This may not really be as easy as it sounds. But with proper tweaking, I believe this can be done. Oh, and btw, this works for me via manual commands without having to restart my linux box. And ofcourse, your card/s must be supported by both drivers.

If you are trying to link two APs together somehow with WDS, you will need to add WDS link in the Host AP setup. For example, you could try adding it manually with 'iwpriv wlan0 wds_add 00:02:72:01:6f:63' and then check what frames you are receiving from a new interface, wlan0wds0. Then either bridge that together with other interfaces or assign an IP address to it and use IP routing. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA From jkmaline at cc.hut.fi Mon Jul 14 14:21:42 2003 From: jkmaline at cc.hut.fi (Jouni Malinen) Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2003 21:21:42 +0300 Subject: Hiding SSID In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <20030714182142.GB3498@jm.kir.nu> On Mon, Jul 14, 2003 at 09:42:57AM -0400, Foy, Patrick wrote: > Intersil confirmed that you need secondary software 1.7.4 or later.

Got it. Thanks! Actually, it's version 1.7.1 for Prism 2 and 1.7.4 for Prism 2.5 and USB. Still, it's very good news for OpenAP. It's also good for owners of Prism 2 cards. I have a crazy idea to make another release of openap-ng that would keep its configuration not in the ROM, but in the card's PDA as a "private item". It would use CVS HostAP and update the firmware to 1.7.1 at startup. An important feature would be faking the MAC address on the ethernet port, which would allow using the AP with a cable modem that learns just one MAC address. Sorry for offtopic, but the OpenAP mailing list has been dead for weeks. If anybody has seen any flashable firmware for Prism2 newer than 1.4.9 please let me know - it would save some space on the OpenAP image by eliminating RAM download. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin From ms at ecs.soton.ac.uk Tue Jul 15 04:41:00 2003 From: ms at ecs.soton.ac.uk (Mike Saywell) Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2003 09:41:00 +0100 Subject: Cross compiling hostap Message-ID: <20030715084100.GR1215@ecs.soton.ac.uk> Hi all, I'm trying to compile hostap on one machine for use on another, but I'm having problems with missing symbols, module versions in particular seem to be giving me grief.

Message-ID: <20030715134119.GA6445@armageddon.rot13.de> Hi, I was wondering about how well a hostap-driven Access Point could handle many users and high traffic load. Real-life experiences wanted! So if you have a wireless network with 5-20, 20-50 or even more clients all using your hostap AP(s), it would be nice to report your success stories as well as the problems and limitations.

I've tested hostap with ~15 clients - as long as clients wern't doing anything major to each other, it all ran pretty fine. If a few clients started simultaneously transferring files to each other, everything would go to shite (simultaneous client->ap transfers didn't seem to affect much apart from bandwidth). Mind you, this is with July 2002 snapshot. I've personally had nothing *but* troubles with 0.0.3 for high node/outdoor stuff, apart from indoor connections (I'm using 0.0.3 right now with an internal antannae and one client, and it's fine).

My configuration is: Linux Suse 8.2 Hostap 0.0.3 Wireless tool 26 Netgear PCI card running on an AMD-duron machine. eth0 pointing to my LAN CAPI card for DSL. What I did was: - Install Suse 8.2 - make oldconfig to generate .config file. - Edit .config file to change KERNELRELEASE to VERSION.PATCHLEVEL.SUBLEVEL (for example 2.4.20) as SUSE would make it 2.4.20-4GB-duron and hostap doesnot like it) - make the new kernel and install it - make and install new modules to /lib/modules/2.4.20 - reboot with the new kernel. - make and install hostap_pci - make and install wirelesstool then modprobe hostap_pci would run OK and I can do all the ifconfig and iwconfig with wlan0 without problem. But now I want to go online so I set up my DSL interface to be CAPI for ADSL. At booting, dsl0 interface will show up, and smpppd starts OK, but I can not see ppp0 with ifconfig. It was all OK if I run the original kernel without hostap. I check the .config file and CONFIG_ISDN was set to m. Did I make mistake some where or I missed out something? Your help is appreciated.

I don't think I would prefer this direction.. hostapd should have more "authorative" information about stations than kernel driver and in most cases I would like hostapd to configure the driver and if something needs per station configuration, it should be in hostapd's configuration. > 2) Format of accept_mac_file could be modified to hold static keys and > hostapd will set keys upon authentication.

This modification should also take into account default(broadcast) WEP key configuration and IEEE 802.1X. In other words, it should be possible for the user of hostapd to configure static default keys and have hostapd send them out for IEEE 802.1X-enabled stations to allow co-existance of IEEE 802.1X stations and stations that do not support IEEE 802.1X, but can use static WEP keys. > 3) Such functionality isn't desired and we will continue to patch our > version.

You should change two word in the PDA - regulatory domain and allowed channels. HostAP doesn't allow dumping PDA yet, so you can get linux-wlan-ng (http://www.linux-wlan.com/) and use prism2dl (http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/prism2dl/) to dump PDA using the "-g" option. The find the like that has 0x0103 in the second position and change the number in the fourth position (which is normally 0x0010 - FCC) to 0x0030 - ETSI. The line that has 0x0104 in the second position should have 0x1fff in the third position - it means that channels 1-13 are allowed. For my card, the diff would be following: $ diff before after 7,8c7,8 < 0x0007, 0x0103, 0x0001, 0x0010, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, < 0x0002, 0x0104, 0x07ff, --- > 0x0007, 0x0103, 0x0001, 0x0030, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, > 0x0002, 0x0104, 0x1fff, Flash the PDA using prism2dl. You may also need to flash secondary firmware unless you are going to always use downloadable firmware. I don't know about Windows, but this page may be helpful: http://www.frars.org.uk/cgi-bin/render.pl?pageid=1109 Still, it's better to preserve your PDA and just patch it than to overwrite it completely. If you can dump your PDA, try finding those numbers and changing them. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin From jsun at junsun.net Wed Jul 16 13:12:04 2003 From: jsun at junsun.net (Jun Sun) Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2003 10:12:04 -0700 Subject: Flashing prism2 PCI cards ...

So, for ETSI areas, where channels 1 to 13 are allowed, just delete the PDR line and leave the FF1F alone.

A trouble with XP is, that if you have ever forced it to use other drivers than the supplied (like Intersils) it refuses to use the original ones again. So you might need to force it again to the original ones, by not letting it search but specifying the right ones.

Coexistence of 802.1x stations and static-WEP stations is my goal as well. We need a file with at least default key and (optional) keys for each non-802.1x station capable of using individual per-station keys. I would like to use trivial to create/parse file format. Something like: e.g.: WEP default 0011223344 2 WEP 01:02:03:04:05:06 s:sta1 For the 802.1x authorized stations both default and individual keys will be distributed protected by session key. Keys for static WEP stations will be set and deleted upon authentication. IMHO some new configuration switches are needed. Hostapd needs to be told (at least): 1) How to deal with static-WEP stations which don't have individual key defined. I mean, when the station is allowed by ACL and isn't authorized by 802.1x and doesn't have individual key what exactly hostapd should do: disable port or use the default key? Think of it as of - "strict mode": everyone not listed in keyfile have to use 802.1x or - "open mode": 802.1x is encouraged but static WEP key is sufficient. 2) Whether it should send accounting messages for non-802.1x stations. There're more issues and things that need to be addressed. LG PS: I'm forced to deploy this kind of functionality so I'm undertaking the modification regardless if it will be accepted or not. Naturally I prefer colaboration, sharing and want to contribute back to community.

Also, flashing firmware to a card that has firmware in RAM doesn't work. If possible, this option should be turned off in the drivers. > I like to hear more experience about using Linux-based > flashing update, i.e., using prsim2_dl or prsim2_srec. > If I get some clear clues, I think I am willing to try it out. prism2_srec cannot be used for flashing primary firmware. The reason is that after the primary firmware is loaded, the card cannot be initialized by the HostAP driver, which is considered fatal and prevents loading the secondary firmware. linux-wlan-ng has a special state for firmware download, in which it doesn't try to initialize the card. I have successfully used prism2dl to upgrade both primary and secondary firmware. I have just released the new unofficial version of prism2dl. It has some additional sanity checks that should prevent flashing firmware meant for RAM download. However, hardware compatibility is still not checked, so it's still possible to kill a Prism 2 card by flashing firmware for Prism 2.5. The necessary checks are quite complex. It may be easier to fix primary firmware download in prism2_srec.

I've tested with hostap v0.0.3 with both the SMC 2532 and a Proxim RangeLAN-DS. I've also updated the SMC to firmware 1.7.4/1.1.1. In all cases, setting "iwconfig wlan0 key s:test open" does not let clients without the WEP key associate. I have tried both a windows 2000 client with an SMC 2632 (PRISM2 PCMCIA card) and a linux client with an orinoco silver card. Neither worked. Any ideas on what could be happening? I will try grabbing the latest hostap CVS soon and will report my results when I get chance. This happens even when hostapd is not running and the key is set manually.

Maybe you should avoid 802.11 authentication and association completely. One station could just monitor all packets and the other would send a special packet with the required information in it. That packet would be selected and decrypted. N-way handshakes are bound to be slow because 802.11 is based on collision avoidance. If you read the standard, you'll see that the stations have to wait a lot to avoid jamming other stations. Ideally, include extra data for forward error correction to reduce the risk that the frame will need to be retransmitted. Passive scanning is not going to help you - it's slow because the scanning station doesn't request the response, but waits for beacons passively. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin From jzh at yifan.net Fri Jul 18 18:22:08 2003 From: jzh at yifan.net (Jay Zhang) Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2003 17:22:08 -0500 Subject: [Fwd: delay in adhoc mode] In-Reply-To: References: <3F1859C8.9050401@yifan.net> Message-ID: <3F187310.9080908@yifan.net> Pavel, Thanks a lot for the information. Ideally, we would like to build a ad hoc system that all stations can receive and broadcast information. The security is not an issue here. It is very attractive if we can avoid authentication and association completely. If I am right here, the firmware processes part of those frames ( We are using Prism2/3 based cards ), which is beyond our control. One way I can think to achieve it is to put the card in Monitor mode first for listening and then switch back to ad hoc mode for broadcasting. But it looks awkward and I don't know if it will be fast enough as the information exchange should finish within several hundreds of milliseconds . It will be great if you can give me some further advise or direct me to the right direction. Thank you very much. Jay.

I think you should be able to transmit frames in the monitor mode if you fully prepare them without reliance on the driver. The function to transmit ready frames is called prism2_tx_80211(). You may be able to use it from the userspace through the wlan0ap interface if you enable hostap support. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin From jkaba at sarnoff.com Fri Jul 18 19:55:20 2003 From: jkaba at sarnoff.com (JAMES KABA) Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2003 19:55:20 -0400 Subject: wireless stats in ad hoc mode Message-ID: <3F1888E8.977C49E1@sarnoff.com> I'm trying to get access to wireless stats while in ad hoc mode (specifically, in ad hoc demo mode, but I can't get it to work either way). I'm trying to access the RSSI values via a call to dev->get_wireless_stats from a kernel module...which is the same function that gets called by iwconfig and when you cat /proc/net/wireless. When I all get_wireless_stats from my module, printks I added to the hostap driver show me that the call to get_rid() for the COMMSQUALITY returns a negative value. If I look at the stats by catting /proc/net/wireless, the get_rid() call in get_wireless_stats succeeds, but it always returns the same static (wrong) values. Am I doing something wrong? This works with wvlan_cs and orinoco_cs. I've only just looked into the hostap_cs drivers---is this functionality disabled somewhere else in the driver when in ad hoc mode? I'm currently using prism2.5 based cards with firmware p1.1.1 and s1.7.4 2.4.18 kernel, wireless extension v12, pcmcia_cs 3.2.1 hostap_cs driver v0.0.3 Any help you can give would be appreciated---I'd be happy enabling this vi standard approaches or via a temporary driver hack.

I would not recommend using monitor mode for any "normal operation". Some cards might not ACK frames in this mode, etc. If the goal is to avoid auth/assoc latency, using pseudo-IBSS mode could be another alternative. At least with old Lucent cards, pseudo adhoc mode did not use auth/assoc at all, it just started using IBSS (BSSID=00:00:00:00:00:00) immediately. One just needed to set STAs on the same channel and that's it.. I haven't tested Prism2 pseudo IBSS mode that much, but I would assume that it has similar behavior. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA From lukic at softhome.net Sat Jul 19 02:37:14 2003 From: lukic at softhome.net (Lukic) Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2003 08:37:14 +0200 Subject: [Fwd: delay in adhoc mode] References: <3F1859C8.9050401@yifan.net><3F187310.9080908@yifan.net> <20030719053345.GA3378@jm.kir.nu> Message-ID: <005b01c34dc0$3bef3d60$fe00000a@magnet.sk> I have tested it fot more than one week and it's the speedest mode even for transfer data, but only when there is no high noise.

The pseudo ad-hoc mode (Pseudo-IBSS mode, PIM) looks very promising. Based on some on-line search I have done, my understandings are listed in the following, please feel free to correct me if anything is not right: 1. The BSSID will be all zeros. 2. There is no distributed beaconing mechanism 3. As long as the cards on the same channel and within the radio range, all the cards can hear each other. There is no separate cells at the link layer. 4. A card in PIM will not send out any management frames (Probe request/response, beacon, authentication, deauthentication, ATIM, association request/response, reassociation request/response, disassociation) 5. A card in PIM will still send ACK for received management frames (not sure). The further question is: what is the impact on the nearby 802.11 IBSS communication? 6. Are the Control frames the same as those in 802.11? 7. How do the two cards in PIM set up the communication? Because these is no beacon, how does the sender find out the destination MAC address? Does it mean that most of the messages are broadcasted to the current channel and the IP layer decide whether it should "receive" the data? 8.How does a card know if there is other card around, and what is the collision avoid mechanism? Is it the same as other mode (802.11 way)? 9.As there is no management frame any more, how does a card know some basic physical layer stuffs such as the rate? I guess Intersil may have more info about PIM in their "driver developer's manual". But it seems that they do not response to manual requests anymore. :( Thanks.

I tested it yesterday and 802.11 IBSS won in getting bandwidth, this means, that i ran flood ping on both connections and thanks to 802.11 IBSS retry on corrupted packets, this connection after a short time got all of bandwidth and pseudo IBSS connection had lost it :-( This was the state with 1450byte packet flood. So you will need clear channel or very strong signal or send very small packets. > 6. Are the Control frames the same as those in 802.11? I think that there are none. > 7.

My measurements are saying, that there is no CA mechanism :-( All have on manage TCP/IP protocol > 9.As there is no management frame any more, how does a card know some > basic physical layer stuffs such as the rate? It sends on rate you set and try to decode every rate, but sometimes this is in troubles, so i recomend to set the same rate on every card.

I remember it was discussed that HostAP could be merged into the Linux kernel. Now Linux is in the 2.6.0-test series, it may be last chance to push HostAP, or we won't see it in 2.6 series. I'm using HostAP on all wireless systems I maintain (both APs and stations) except experimental and development systems where I test other drivers. I switched all stations from orinoco_cs to HostAP so that I can load more reliable firmware into Prism 2 cards. HostAP is really the best option now for Prism 2 cards. It could be argued that HostAP has a lot of userspace code that still needs to be maintained separately. Bot the same applies to other projects like ALSA, and this didn't prevent the kernel part of ALSA from getting into the kernel. Care should be taken not to allow building orinoco_pci and hostap_pci in the same time if at least one is linked into the kernel. The same applies to the PLX versions. But again, it's not uncommon to have more than one driver for the same devices. Think of two UHCI drivers in 2.4 kernels or two drivers for Intel's EtherExpressPro/100. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin From jkmaline at cc.hut.fi Tue Jul 22 11:56:30 2003 From: jkmaline at cc.hut.fi (Jouni Malinen) Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2003 08:56:30 -0700 Subject: Merging HostAP into Linux 2.6 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <20030722155630.GA3300@jm.kir.nu> On Tue, Jul 22, 2003 at 11:32:37AM -0400, Pavel Roskin wrote: > I remember it was discussed that HostAP could be merged into the Linux > kernel.

As far as I can see, Host AP driver would be ready for this, but Jeff Garzik seems to require that own WEP implementation (hostap_crypt_wep) would be replaced with one that is using CryptoAPI. However, current CryptoAPI does not support stream ciphers which would be required for this. I did start looking into this some time ago, but most probably I will not have enough time to finish this (and this is not exactly my top priority, since hostap_crypt_wep is already working fine). Unless the requirement about the use of CryptoAPI changes, I don't think the merge is going to happen before Linux 2.7. > It could be argued that HostAP has a lot of userspace code that still > needs to be maintained separately.

Anyway, I'm considering of separating user space hostapd from the driver tarball at some point.. I don't think this is an issue with kernel tree merge. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA From jburford at xsilogy.com Tue Jul 22 15:00:52 2003 From: jburford at xsilogy.com (Jon Burford) Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2003 12:00:52 -0700 Subject: other HostAP mode hardware Message-ID: <05201EC9A3A1F14DAF2ECA5F79BE49A6518CED@koloa.xsilogy.net> Greetings! In light of the recent acquisition of Intersil's WLAN division, there has been much buzz about the future and availability of the Prism line of chipsets. With all of the excellent work that has gone into the HostAP code, I am hoping there is a more distant and certain future migration path for this project. I have seen recent postings about how most of the code might run on certain orinoco hardware. However, it does not seem that this or any other hardware supports HostAP mode at all or to the degree required for HostAP. Are there any other cards/chipsets which support HostAP mode?

The channels are fine too. We cannot bring up the interface initially as 'managed'; it has to be master first then switched to managed. We are running wireless-tools 23 from the debian distribution. However, whenever we run iwconfig it gives us an error message saying that the wlan1 was compiled with version 14 while we are using version 12? We are using firmware 1.7.4 w/ a SMC 2632 200mW card. I am connecting to a wap11 in infrastructure mode as a test. The wap11 is running firmware 1.4.j1; the lastest stable version. I also read a post that had a similar situation with the card in client mode and the connection dropping out. Please help.

Message-ID: <3F1DC470.8030107@palaver.net> I have been playing around with the (to me) must frustrating part of the whole Prism2 experience, getting the right firmware onto the right card. Safety first: I have a HEX file that I would like to load onto a card running hostap. As soon as I insert the card the PCMCIA routines start Hostap. So I'm wondering: is it safe at that point to upload the firmware onto the card (using the "stay in RAM" type of firmware) while it's running? Thanks. B.

Yes, it is. As long as you don't flash firmware, the card should be OK. The worst thing that can happen is that you'll have to reboot your system. prism2_srec is very careful not to let you kill your card. The only unsafe thing it allows is flashing primary firmware, but it will be fixed. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin From imp at airlinktek.com Wed Jul 23 04:49:14 2003 From: imp at airlinktek.com (imp) Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2003 17:49:14 +0900 Subject: managed mode loss link connection Message-ID: Dear hostap people.. from time to time hostap managed mode station loss link connection to hostap master mode AP.

Ok, other suggestions (firmware stuff) ended up being requirements, but I would rather verify this assumption of yours before giving up. My position is that, despite our friendly suggestion to its maintainer, CryptoAPI still doesn't support WEP and stream cipher, so HostAP can't use CryptoAPI, and so go as-is.

It make it hard to quote your posts. Also, some output would be more helpful than your interpretation. Can it be that the "hostap_crypt_wep" is not loaded? What does "lsmod" show? Maybe you have some errors in the kernel log. Use dmesg to check. Maybe the key is interpreted as a 104-bit long, and Orinoco Silver doesn't support it. It's not likely, but you can check by running "iwlist wlan0 key". Maybe the Orinoco card also has a key set at startup. You can check it by "iwlist eth0 key" on the station side and turn it off by "iwconfig eth0 key off". That's the most likely reason. Maybe you have an old version of wireless tools or they were compiled against an old kernel. Use "iwconfig --version" to find out. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin From proski at gnu.org Wed Jul 23 23:16:18 2003 From: proski at gnu.org (Pavel Roskin) Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2003 23:16:18 -0400 (EDT) Subject: will an Orinoco Card work as client w/ hostap-0.0.3 In-Reply-To: <20030724020311.53140.qmail@web80605.mail.yahoo.com> References: <20030724020311.53140.qmail@web80605.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: On Wed, 23 Jul 2003, Hazel Nut wrote: > We are planning to include the kernel configuration or modules needed to > a customize distro of linux so it will support the feature of AP.

Yes, it works. All cards supporting 802.11b protocol can talk to each other regardless of the vendors and the OS as long as they have functional firmware and drivers.

The WEP key is set on the AP side to 7465-7374-00. The station has no key. It associates, but no traffic comes through. Changing host_decrypt and host_encrypt to 1 on the AP side makes no difference. Setting the key in the STA side makes ping possible. Exactly the same happens in the station uses HostAP in the managed mode and firmware 1.7.1. But from reading part 8.1.1 in the 802.11 specification it appears that open system authentication doesn't regulate how the data is encrypted for the station without the WEP key. It only says that the station can be authenticated without knowing the WEP key. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin From jsun at junsun.net Thu Jul 24 14:20:12 2003 From: jsun at junsun.net (Jun Sun) Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2003 11:20:12 -0700 Subject: Open WEP Mode and SMC 2532 In-Reply-To: References: <3F034CD2.9050507@dlevitan.com> <003f01c34148$919b2320$151e0a0a@stmantoniov> <3F171C5D.8000902@dlevitan.com> <3F1EFBF4.5070707@dlevitan.com> <3F1FE8A1.9080009@dlevitan.com> Message-ID: <20030724182012.GA12116@gateway.junsun.net> On Thu, Jul 24, 2003 at 12:45:37PM -0400, Pavel Roskin wrote: > On Thu, 24 Jul 2003, David Levitan wrote: > > > hostap_crypt and hostap_crypt_wep are working.

"security open" means open authentication. And therefore auth packets go through and client is associated with AP . Since client does not have key set, it will send plain data packet to AP. You should see AP actually receives the packets from client. . However, (I am guessing here) since AP has key set, it replies with encrypted data packet which client discards. That is why you don't see the reply packets from AP. I have been thinking it would be great if we modify hostAP so that it replies in plain data packet if the incoming packet is plain, even when it has WEP key set. This would make AP supporting WEP and non-WEP at the same time. BTW, I don't think existing behavior is wrong. To be picky, hostAP might want to be consistent regarding receiving and sending data packets when key is set. It should either receive and send plain data packets, or should not receive plain data packet at the first place.

The card must be inserted when you load the driver. If you really want to use PCMCIA subsystem with WDT11 (you probably don't), use this driver: http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/plx9052/ -- Regards, Pavel Roskin From jsanchez at myalert.com Fri Jul 25 03:21:36 2003 From: jsanchez at myalert.com (Javier Sanchez) Date: 25 Jul 2003 09:21:36 +0200 Subject: Prism2s card flash In-Reply-To: References: <1059032951.14020.82.camel@mas-jsanchez> Message-ID: <1059117701.17801.66.camel@mas-jsanchez> HI all, firstly thanks for the help, yesterday i was able to ressurrect my senao card, i tried several commands using the dos flash utility.

We really need to fix prism2_srec so that it doesn't require working secondary firmware. It appears that apart from this limitation, it's the safest way to update the firmware. I believe it would not kill your card. > I called Belkin tech support, however, they were unable (or unwilling) > to proivide any details of exactly which firmware would run on their > cards, or specific parameters to supply to the flash tool. I think it's a bad idea. Such calls discourage vendors from publishing firmware updates. Even if they didn't tell you anything, they still spent time on you. > Their only solution was to have the card replaced under warranty.

It's possible, but you need a modified PCMCIA adapter. If you happen to have TI PCI1410, connect pin 134 to +5V as described here: http://sisyphus.iocaine.com/pipermail/hostap/2003-April/002446.html > Also, in case there is not a current (1.5.6 or later) flashable firmware > retrievable that works with the belkin card, is anyone aware of a RAMmable > firmware later than 1.4.9? > > I would like to disable the ssid broadcast (ssid hide) which evidently > requires 1.6.3 or later. These are the latest available firmwares: Prism 2 Prism 2.5 RAM 1.7.1 1.7.4 Flash 1.4.9 1.7.4 All are available at http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/firmware/ Since you probably have Prism 2.5 now, you can flash it with 1.7.4. The old card can be flashed with 1.4.9 and updated to 1.7.1 on startup.

Yes, something like this is more likely to help. Once the interrupts are routed correctly, no options should be needed for i82365. Maybe just "irq_mode=0". The kernel PCMCIA (yenta_socket) should be fine too. To fix the interrupt problem, try setting PCI access mode to BIOS or direct. Also try enabling ACPI and disabling IO-APIC, and if you have SMP, try disabling it too. Since you cannot persuade HostAP not to use an interrupt, further discussion should probably go to linux-pcmcia at lists.infradead.org or LKML. The output of "lspci -vvv" and dmesg (complete, including ACPI initialization) may be useful. Your .config may be useful as well. I used to have other IRQ routing problems with Ricoh RL5c476, so I'm not surprised. But the problems were on the bus level, so i82365 couldn't do anything about it - the fix was in the kernel. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin From cas at taz.net.au Sat Jul 26 06:37:42 2003 From: cas at taz.net.au (Craig Sanders) Date: Sat, 26 Jul 2003 20:37:42 +1000 Subject: Richoh RL5c475 and IRQ In-Reply-To: References: <000701c3531a$88df5a60$bf00a8c0@Home> Message-ID: <20030726103742.GD21956@taz.net.au> On Sat, Jul 26, 2003 at 12:17:04AM -0400, Pavel Roskin wrote: > On Fri, 25 Jul 2003, Jerry wrote: > > > > # Defaults for pcmcia (sourced by /etc/init.d/pcmcia) > > > PCMCIA=yes > > > PCIC=i82365 > > > PCIC_OPTS="irq_mode=0 pci_irq_list=17,20" > > I wonder what's the reason to set pci_irq_list.

I think I've now sorted these for my motherboard. I'm having a problem with the above card (Prism 2.5 chipset, real PCI card not a PCMCIA bridge). If I use my PC in XT-style PIC mode, it works. if I use my PC with the IO-APIC enabled (the card gets IRQ 18 in this case), it does not work. No IRQs are ever received from the device, so I get lots of timeout errors when the hostap_pci module is inserted. I think this is not a motherboard problem: 1) A realtek 8139-based ethernet card works fine in the same PCI slot. 2) The wavelan card works fine in windows XP (and I know APIC is setup the same way as it is by my patches). I'm about to start digging into the Intersil Prism2.5 documentation, but I thought I'd check on the list first in case anyone knows what the problem might be.

Hi, turns out the realtek 8139 card DOESN'T work properly; I'd forgotten that such cards don't use IRQs until they actually try to send data.. and that doesn't work. So this is a motherboard issue, and not a hostap driver issue. Has anyone else experienced this sort of problem though?

Should this work with a Linux/Windows XP combination? Dynamic WEP keying requires IEEE 802.1X. The attached hostapd.conf does not have it enabled.

Is the reported address one of the WDS peers? Do you have a station entry for the said address (i.e., does /proc/net/hostap/wlan#/ exist)? How was the WDS link added (manually with iwpriv wds_add?)?

I understand the basic principle of a radius server because I have encountered this earlier (at work). However, I don't know exactly how to set this up. Right now I am using iwconfig to specify the key. Where can I find information on setting up a radius server for 802.1X?

I was going to release this earlier, but other projects and vacation etc. limited the amount of time I had available for Host AP driver.. I have not yet gone through all the emails I have pending (well, OK, I have about 500 left ;-) so some of the submitted patches have not been merged in. I will try to continue processing these messages and otherwise work mostly in bug fixing mode in the near future. 2003-07-27 - v0.0.4 * moved non-hardware specific RX code from hostap_hw.c into a new file, hostap_80211_rx.c and removed Prism2 RX descriptor dependency from hostap_ap.c * fixed number of compilation issues (RH9 kernel, *.mod files to local directory, 2.4.x compilation with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS, external pcmcia-cs) * removed extra tasklet that was used with TX callback handler * update basic rate set automatically when changing supported rate set * fixed compilation without Linux Wireless Extensions (CONFIG_NET_RADIO) (this is not recommended, but should work now; it will limit driver functionality) * use less aggressive transmit rate decreasing algorithm * fixed inactivity expiration of stations using power saving mode * fixed sending of IEEE 802.1X frames to buffer them if STA is in power saving mode * removed backward compatibility code for Linux Wireless Extensions versions older than ver 9 * added module parameter 'dev_template' for setting the device name template (default: 'wlan%d'); this is for hostap_{cs,pci,plx}.o * changed monitor mode to use pseudo-IBSS mode instead of Host AP mode to avoid sending out Beacon and ProbeResp frames * fixed enh_sec setting (hide SSID) to reset Port0 so that the changes to the beacon are taken into use immediately * added support for selection which authentication algorithm to use in station mode (prism2_param 'ap_auth_algs', 1 = open system, 2 = shared key (requires WEP), 3 = both, default) (ap_auth_algs was previously used only in AP/Master mode, but it is now also used for STA mode configuration) * added support for manual scan and roaming mode (managed/ad-hoc); prism2_param host_roaming 2; this disabled automatic IEEE 802.11 scans and gives more control to user space programs using Linux wireless extensions (see 'Roaming in station mode' section in README file for more information) * process beacon frames in kernel driver even when hostapd is used (this updates AP tables and allows automatic WDS link generation) * removed TX power controlling (iwconfig txpower) since the experimental algorithm in the driver did not include any feedback from the measured TX power and could allow TX power values that cause interference or signal quality issues; now only txpower 'off' and 'auto' are allowed. TX power controlling will be returned after proper algorithm using feedback loop has been implemented. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA From linux at rave.star.co.uk Mon Jul 28 08:40:40 2003 From: linux at rave.star.co.uk (Matt Caddy) Date: 28 Jul 2003 13:40:40 +0100 Subject: Compilation Errors Message-ID: <1059396039.3968.3.camel@techno> Hi, Im trying to run the make pci command and get the following error below.

Some one can help me to understand what does it mean. INFDROP is informing the driver about dropped information frame. In this case, I would assume this would be a dropped CommTallies (TX/RX statistics) information. These errors are usually generated when the host system is not processing incoming information frames quickly enough and Prism2 card runs out of buffer space. However, I have also seen cases in which the firmware seems to have confused something and is generating one InfDrop per packet.. Which station firmware version are you using? InfDrop behavior seems to vary a bit based on the used firmware version. Some issues could possibly be solved by moving to use 32-bit tallies instead of the default 16-bit ones, but this does not work on all old STA firmware versions. I'm not that worried about couple of InfDrop events, but flood of those (like one per TX packet) should be worked around somehow. Inquiring the firmware for a CommTally seems to fix some cases and if I remember correctly, I added some kind of workaround for some of the issues (but not all). -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA From jkmaline at cc.hut.fi Mon Jul 28 23:16:58 2003 From: jkmaline at cc.hut.fi (Jouni Malinen) Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2003 20:16:58 -0700 Subject: Prism GT/Indigo/Duette linux drivers available In-Reply-To: <20030728200518.GA20702@mail1.vantronix.net> References: <20030728140420.GA12137@devil.cnc.sk> <3F2579DA.6010302@studiobz.it> <20030728200518.GA20702@mail1.vantronix.net> Message-ID: <20030729031657.GB3241@jm.kir.nu> On Mon, Jul 28, 2003 at 10:05:18PM +0200, Reyk Floeter wrote: > i think it would be the _best_ idea to introduce some kind of an > extended common wireless api and a more common and chipset- > independent interface to the userspace hostapd. hostapd is already pretty much hardware independent. Although, admittedly it requires some additions to better support some chipsets, like Atheros. It is the kernel side that needs more work to make code reusable for different drivers. I have actually been working on this for quite some time in a different code base. > userspace hostapd seems to be the best solution for the future - why > not use it for other projects? jouni, would it be possible to seperate > it a bit from the prism2 hostap driver and to provide an own tarball? > i plan to use it in the (free) ar5k drivers instead of re-inventing > the wheel and others could port hostapd to *BSD if we had a well- > defined and documented interface. I'm going to separate the tarball into two or three components quite soon. One will be the device driver without any user space programs. Another one will be hostapd and possible a third one for Prism2-specific tools (prism2_srec, hostap_diag). This kind of separation is needed anyway if Host AP driver ends up being merged into Linux kernel tree at some point. There already is a BSD port of hostapd and I'm looking into merging at least parts of it to my CVS tree. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA From jkmaline at cc.hut.fi Mon Jul 28 23:23:28 2003 From: jkmaline at cc.hut.fi (Jouni Malinen) Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2003 20:23:28 -0700 Subject: Prism GT/Indigo/Duette linux drivers available In-Reply-To: <865854993.1059402730@melange.errno.com> References: <20030728140420.GA12137@devil.cnc.sk> <20030728200518.GA20702@mail1.vantronix.net> <865854993.1059402730@melange.errno.com> Message-ID: <20030729032328.GC3241@jm.kir.nu> On Mon, Jul 28, 2003 at 02:32:11PM -0700, Sam Leffler wrote: > There are tradeoffs to using a user-space only process for handling > management frames. Yes, there are both benefits and drawbacks. I find it nicer way of developing the management side and in most cases IEEE 802.11 timing or CPU load requirements for management frames are not too big of an issue. Anyway, it might be useful to define mechanism that would allow moving some parts (like 802.11 auth/assoc) to kernel driver or hardware (in case of something like Prism2 with AP firmware) and use only IEEE 802.1X Authenticator (etc. higher level management) in user space. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA From lcaeiro at est.ips.pt Tue Jul 29 03:37:52 2003 From: lcaeiro at est.ips.pt (Luisa Caeiro) Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2003 08:37:52 +0100 Subject: Infdrop event message References: <004c01c35530$d18177e0$6401a8c0@home> <20030729030521.GA3241@jm.kir.nu> Message-ID: <001201c355a4$539cfa60$6401a8c0@netcabo> So, what I understand is that the driver sends periodically information frames to the host system and because the host system can't process quickly all the information it drops some.

Message-ID: <2BBB4AF888808041B6225B625CDBE3D61B63E7@AD04002EXCCN2.AD.ADMIN.CH> Hi all, I'm trying to inject frames from a Linux system (SuSE 8.2, kernel 2.4.20) and a D-Link DWL-650 PCMCIA card (Prism2) so I'm able to send out frames with given MAC addresses. Originally, I tried out libradiate, but could ever make it work - also it is no longer supported. I read there's a packet injection mechanism provided in hostap (I'm using version 0.0.3), using a wlan0ap method? Unfortunately I didn't find any documentation about it. So I was trying to do the following, from what I could take from a few messages: In the hostapd directory, I created a test program which is quite a hack, it just includes the full hostapd.c file without main() function. In the copy below error handling stuff is left away to make it shorter. Sorry for the many #includes, I'm not sure which are really needed. Note that "radiate.h" is just /usr/local/radiate.h from libradiate without the 2 include lines "#include ./radiate/ieee80211.h" and "#include ./radiate/wireless.h", because these redefine hfa384... stuff - I only need libradiate and libnet to create a data frame, in this case a ping: ---------- #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include "eloop.h" #include "hostapd.h" #include "ieee802_11.h" #include "sta_info.h" #include "ieee802_1x.h" #include "driver.h" #include #include "radiate.h" <... whole hostapd.c file, without main program - skipped here ...> char errLib[LIBNET_ERRBUF_SIZE]; char errRad[RADIATE_ERRBUF_SIZE]; u_char llc_snap[8] = {0xaa, 0xaa, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x08, 0x00}; #define SNAPLEN LIBNET_802_2SNAP_H hostapd *hapd; main() { int cnt,i; u_char src_mac[6]={0x00,0x05,0x5D,0xF1,0x33,0x4F}; /* this laptop (wireless) */ u_char dst_mac[6]={0x00,0x01,0x02,0xB7,0x12,0x04}; /* target system on (wired) behind AP ethernet */ u_char bssid[6] ={0x00,0x05,0x5d,0xf1,0xe2,0xcf}; /* access point bridging the nets (DWL1000) */ u_long src_ip; u_long dst_ip; struct hfa384x_rx_frame *tx; radiate_t *r = radiate_init((char)0,errRad); libnet_t *l = libnet_init(LIBNET_RAW4_ADV,NULL,errLib); libnet_ptag_t ptag; u_long payload_s,ip_packet_s; u_char *payload,*ip_packet,*frame; hapd = hostapd_init("hostapd.conf"); hostapd_setup_interface(hapd); dst_ip = libnet_name2addr4(l, "192.168.14.228", LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE); src_ip = libnet_name2addr4(l, "192.168.14.230", LIBNET_DONT_RESOLVE); /* build ping packet */ ptag = libnet_build_icmpv4_echo(ICMP_ECHO,0,0,0x0600,0x0e00,NULL0,l,0); ptag = libnet_build_ipv4(LIBNET_IPV4_H + LIBNET_ICMPV4_ECHO_H,0,0xfe,0,128,IPPROTO_ICMP, 0,src_ip,dst_ip,NULL,0,l,0); libnet_toggle_checksum(l, ptag, LIBNET_ON); ip_packet = NULL; ip_packet_s = 0; libnet_adv_cull_packet(l, &ip_packet, &ip_packet_s); /* build IEEE802_11 frame */ payload_s = LIBNET_IPV4_H + LIBNET_ICMPV4_ECHO_H + SNAPLEN; payload = malloc(payload_s); memcpy(payload, llc_snap, SNAPLEN); memcpy(payload+SNAPLEN, ip_packet, ip_packet_s); frame = radiate_build_data_frame(bssid,dst_mac,src_mac, RADIATE_DATA_STYPE_DATA,RADIATE_CTRL_TODS,payload,payload_s,,r); tx = (struct hfa384x_rx_frame *)frame; /* test output */ for (i=0; isock, frame+14, sizeof(*tx)-14+SNAPLEN+ip_packet_s, 0); printf("Packet written, %d bytes\n",cnt); } ------ Compiled within hostapd directory (after a "make" and with "hostapd.o" removed): gcc -I ../driver/modules -o test test.c *.o -lradiate -lnet As I said, it is a hack and I just want to try out if injection works.

Yes, sort of. It's missing in those kernels. It first appeared in Linux 2.4.19 as a preprocessor symbol and became a function since Linux 2.4.20.

C is _not_ prism 2.5 based. Those smart guys think customers are so dumb that they could switch the chipset without changing the product name. Look at the cover of the box. Rev A and B has a metal boxy cover with color prints, while Rev C does not. Rev C only shows bare chips. One of the nice thing about DWL520 (A&B) is that it is rare dual voltage kind (3V and 5V). And it is cheap. Jun From andreaf at cs.columbia.edu Wed Jul 30 12:54:11 2003 From: andreaf at cs.columbia.edu (Andrea G.

If you have the right revision (A or B) of DWL520, then the problem might be incompatibility between your motherboard and the card. The card is PCI 2.2 compatible and has a dual voltage support. I have seen PCI 2.1 motherboard allowing 3V card plugged in but failing to talk to them. To be sure I would do some or all of the following experiements: 1. plug the card into another PC (newer one, or explicitly supports dual voltage and PCI 2.2) 2. plug in another 3V PCI card into your machine and see if that one comes up 3. plug in a regular 5V PCI card into your machine and see if it comes up Jun From proski at gnu.org Wed Jul 30 12:58:09 2003 From: proski at gnu.org (Pavel Roskin) Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 12:58:09 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [PATCH] Another ID for hostap_pci - ISL3872 Message-ID: Hello!

Pablo, are wlan0 and wlan1 on the same subnets or on different subnets? If they are on different subnets, iptables should be sufficient to block the traffic between them. If they are on the same subnet (as in "bridging" mode), then hostap driver might be the suspect. Or the above patch might work.

Host AP driver tries to use 32-bit tallies with STA f/w 0.8.2 and newer. In addition, the driver will now periodically (every 10 seconds) update the statistics if there are no unsolicited CommTallies info frames. I tested this with number of different firmware versions and both 16-bit and 32-bit tallies seems to be working. However, I did not verify whether InfDrop behavior changed in high load situations.

I don't know why you think that flashing primary firmware is not reliable. It has always worked for me. The problem is that HostAP cannot flash the secondary firmware after that, so it was disabled in prism2_srec. prism2dl with linux-wlan-ng flashes primary and secondary firmware just fine. On the other hand, loading primary firmware into the RAM has newer worked for me with any driver, including linux-wlan-ng. Here are your options: 1) Figure out how to load primary firmware into the RAM. I have no idea how. Try setting genesis mode. You may need to ask Intersil, but it may be very expensive and not very helpful. 2) Fix HostAP to support flashing when only primary firmware is in the card (note that flashing primary firmware disables secondary firmware). That's the most realistic option and really needs to be done. It's being asked all the time, but nobody seems to be working on it. 3) Combine primary and secondary firmware into one image and flash it in one operation. This gives you the easiest procedure, but requires a lot of work to be done to create the image. 4) Install linux-wlan-ng temporarily and flash primary and secondary firmware, then replace it with the new HostAP driver. This gives you the hardest procedure in the field, but it's something that is working now and requires no coding or firmware hacking. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin From erik.brakkee at planet.nl Wed Jul 30 09:41:04 2003 From: erik.brakkee at planet.nl (Erik Brakkee) Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 15:41:04 +0200 Subject: D-Link Chipset In-Reply-To: <036001c35692$226ae2b0$780014ac@rv.fr> References: <000801c3568d$5dc16a00$5e00a8c0@p4> <036001c35692$226ae2b0$780014ac@rv.fr> Message-ID: <3F27CAF0.4030404@planet.nl> Hi, Christophe Chaloin wrote: > The D-Link DWL-520 11Mbits will be discontinued. > D-Link told me that a new low cost 11Mbits will replace it (DWL-510 > not announced yet). > The chipset will probably be from Broadcom. And from my own experience I know that Broadcom is not supported (yet). The manufacturer has not released specs. There is even a petition on the internet to persuade broadcom to release specs. We definitely need support for the newer chipsets as well. The old 11Mbps cards are rapidy disappearing from stores. The new 54Mbps cards (802.11g) are not that much more expensive than the 11Mbps cards. Linksys also used the Prism chipset on their 11Mpbs cards but is now also using broadcom on their newer cards. I had to spent quite some time on the internet to find a supported card for linux and someone who could sell it to me. I finally settled on a 3Com Airconnect card. It appears that Sweex could also be used, they also have linux drivers on their site.
