<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are observing problems with hostap acting as a
client without doing wds.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The connection works to any other access point in
infrastructure mode; and then times out after 2-8 hours.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We also have issues bringing up the wireless card
with managed mode. We have to do the following to bring it up:
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>iwconfig wlan1 ip.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0
up </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face=Arial size=2>iwconfig wlan1 essid tester
</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>iwconfig wlan1 channel 6</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>iwconfig wlan1 mode Master </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>iwconfig wlan1 mode Managed</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It works sometimes; and then sometimes not. The
channels are fine too. We cannot bring up the interface initially as
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>'managed'; it has to be master first then switched
to managed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are running wireless-tools 23 from the debian
distribution. However, whenever we run iwconfig it gives us an
error</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>message saying that the wlan1 was compiled with
version 14 while we are using version 12? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are using firmware 1.7.4 w/ a SMC 2632 200mW
card.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am connecting to a wap11 in infrastructure mode
as a test. The wap11 is running firmware 1.4.j1; the lastest stable
version.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I also read a post that had a similar situation
with the card in client mode and the connection dropping out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please help.</FONT></DIV>
