>Description:
I have a 6.0-RC1 hostap, one senao pcmcia and one DWL-AG530 pci-card, the clients are using broadcom as ndis or orinoco as wi or senao as wi
when not chosing the correct ifconfig options sequence either on the client or the hostap the wireless card is not configured correctly, example, this sequence appears to be correct:
ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.2.1/29 media OFDM/54Mbps mediaopt hostap mode 11g ssid casa11g up
when I do
ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.2.1/29 mode 11g media OFDM/54Mbps mediaopt hostap ssid casa11g up
i get an error:
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (media): Invalid argument
I could get the same results for ath, wi(prism) and ndis as hostap or client
on the client I get for example
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/54Mbps (DS/11Mbps)
status: associated
ssid casa channel 1 bssid
or this
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet DS/11Mbps mode 11b (OFDM/54Mbps)
status: associated
ssid casa11g channel 1 bssid
