hostap problem on Ipaq

FWIW, I've had problems with PocketPC OS even on commercial grade AP's like
the Proxim AP-2500.   I just recently upgraded firmware on the AP-2500 to
v2.0 and most of my PocketPC users started complaining they could not pull
DHCP addresses.   Everybody else with a wireless laptop worked just fine.
When I set the PPC users devices to static IP, they worked...  So it appears
there is something "different" about PPC wireless implementation...

I've also seen problems when there are multiple broadcasters in the same
area, PPC OS makes it very difficult to associate with one SSID and stay
connected to it.   On my new Dell Axim X3i with Windows Mobile 2003,
wireless is just a hassle to get working right.

Subject: hostap problem on Ipaq


Hi,

I'm testing hostap work with an Ipaq 3600 and a D-Link (Neteasy) DWL-650
card
(prism 2.5, PCMCIA, f/w PRI 1.0.7, STA 1.3.5)

I am using hostap v. 0.2.1 with CCMP. The card seem to work normally with
ping, but netperf tests report a throughput of 0, and the log (dmesg,
attached
to this mail) reports a TX timed out.

I use hostap cvs version and Familar 0.7.2 distribution with a 2.4.19
kernel.

Any suggestion?

Thanks,

/Giorgio Calandriello
