Fragmentation Paramter

[SR Dasgupta]

Did anyone work around this problem of fragmentation paramter?

I executed the following command:

iwconfig eth2 frag 2222 (my eth2 is your wlan0)

However, when I try to see the value from iwconfig eth2  or using 
hostap_diag, I donot see the value change.
Infact I get the same result as in Point 1 of odelia's mail.

can someone help?

Regards,
Shubharanjan

I have a problem configuring D-Link DWL520 card with hostap

1) fragmentation patameter does not change:

 			# iwconfig wlan0 frag fixed
 			# iwconfig wlan0
 			wlan0   IEEE 802.11-b  ESSID:"test"  Nickname:"red1"
 			          Mode:Master  Frequency:2.422GHz  Access Point: 
00:05:5D:FA:16:35
> 			          Bit Rate:11Mb/s   Tx-Power=-13 dBm   Sensitivity=1/3
> 			          Retry limit:15   RTS thr=200 B   Fragment thr:off
> 			
> 			# iwconfig wlan0 frag 512
> 			# iwconfig wlan0

 2) does the card supports power timeout and period at the same time?
				    I know that most cards don't...

3) Setting of power management timeout - the value being displayed is 
different from the      value that was set (is there a limit of some sort?)
