Never mind! Thanks for the help Jouni! I just needed to update the station firmware to 1.7.4 or higher.<br><br>Timur<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 22, 2008 2:25 PM, Timur Alperovich <<a href="mailto:timur.alperovich@gmail.com">

<br>set_rid_word 0xFC48 37 with iwpriv to see if that would work, but got:
