You also wouldn't expect to see the Linux machine as it does not support the NetBEUI protocol (except for some hacks under 2.1.x that never went into the source tree). If, however, the AP was acting as an ethernet bridge (transparent), it might have a chance of working. If, on the other hand, you are running NetBIOS over TCP/IP then you can set up Samba to do the forwarding for you a couple of ways, but since you see nothing on the neighborhood network it doesn't sound like you are using SAMBA. Try the Samba man page and the part about "remote announce" or "wins server". Hope this helps.

The way of generating the key with rand() is also flawed. It loses 8 bits (every fourth character of the generating string) and the maximum size of key space is 2^24; or 2^21 if we assume that only 7-bit characters are used. Anyway, it takes only few seconds to perform a brute force attack on keys generated with nwepgen (either 40-bit or 128(104)-bit).. > I propose to disable the passphrase for 128 bit keys, or at least a comment > should be left in the wlan-ng.opts that informs the user that keys > generated in this way are weak. The generation algorithm could be changed easily, since it does not even match with the Windows driver. Something like a hash with MD5 or SHA1 as a basis and a bit more secure generation of rest of the needed bits than the use of rand() in the way used in nwepgen. On the other hand, I would not call 40-bit WEP secure.. or "128-bit WEP" for that matter. The proposed WEP2 from 802.11 TgE (Sec) might be better, but I would anyway use IPSec on wireless LAN connections. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA -------------------------------------------------- Linux WLAN Developer's List For more information about this list see: http://www.absoval.com/linux-wlan/lists.html From linux-wlan-user@absoval.com Mon Apr 30 14:26:58 2001 From: linux-wlan-user@absoval.com (bwalter) Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2001 10:26:58 -0400 Subject: [lwlan-user]: 802.11 USB dongle Linux driver...

Hi.

I think the problem is wvlan_cs driver.
When use wlan-ng-0.1.8, AP+Bridge system is operate properly.

In Ad-Hoc mode system, arp was not setting automatically.
So, I must set the arp manualy.
ex)arp -s TARGET_SYSTEM_IPADDR TARGET_SYSTEM_MACADDR

1. What's the reson of arp problem?
2. Do you know the problem of wvlan_cs+Bridge System?

Thanx.

Unfortunately, this also requires that you have kernel sources (plus the files from a 'make config') present on your system. Now, that usually implies that you've _built_ and installed your own kernel as well. This is usually a good idea because then you're certain that the configured kernel source tree matches the setup of your running kernel. I know it's alot of work to do all this....but it usually results in a more stable system.

Mathews) Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2001 14:49:09 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [lwlan-user]: Prism2 and Host AP mode In-Reply-To: <20010425185757.A20004@jm.epitest.fi> Message-ID: Hey Jouni, This is really cool. I didn't realize you were working on Host-AP. Would you mind letting me take a quick peek at what you've got? The only reason I'm asking is because we're currently working out how we're going to add generic management frame and state management stuff (STA, AP, and WDS element) to our current p80211 module so it can be used by low-level drivers for MACs that absolutely require it (like the old AMD MAC). I had intended to re-use the old linux-wlan am930 code for this purpose. As you well know, there are some issues with that code that we've never had time to fix. If there are more up-to-date alternatives, I'd like to know as much about them as possible. I'm also really curious about your 802.11 native interface. That's another thing we've been kicking around here. The primary reason we're looking at this is because over the next 18 months there will be a rapid proliferation of 802.11 MACs in the marketplace. We'll be going from ~4 MACs to somewhere in the neighborhood of 25. It seems like everyone is trying to get into the MAC (and baseband, and radio) business. Each of these MACs has varying support for how much of the MAC protocol they support. We're trying to create a representation for capability that will then be used by our p80211 layer to decide how much work it should do on behalf of the low-level driver. The primary goal here is to provide as much common functionality as we can. That way it'll be easier to add support for new MACs and we'll be able to spend more time on cool new stuff like the 802.11 security, QoS, and IAPP enhancements.

Yes, this is possible and I have actually implemented fully operational AP functionality on top of STA f/w using Host AP mode (i.e., without needing any additional firmware). In addition, Neesus Datacom has a similar driver for Windows NT (at least Compaq have used this in WL300 some time ago). > The problem is that the firmware _must_ perform the time sensitive > functions, such as sending of beacons.

That is correct as long as STA f/w in BSS mode is considered, but the STA f/w in IBSS (or Host AP) mode does indeed send beacons. > So, HostAP mode of the card is the only way to do a Software AP for > the card. However, I have been unable to get HostAP mode of the cards > to do anything useful (like give me management frames). Host AP mode is documented in Intersil's manual (only available under NDA). That manual with good knowledge of IEEE 802.11 should be enough for implementing software AP using Prism2. Actually, I noticed a couple of weeks ago that Intersil's new (freely available) FAQ section seems to have enough information for this (assuming that you learn the rest, e.g., from Absoval's driver). > I am attempting to write a minimal software ap as a research project, > because I wish to mess with the internal workings of the AP, something > I cannot do with even with appropriatly licensed firmware. If we can > get a minimal AP working with the HostAP mode of the card, then I think > all parties would be happy. There would be a free AP implementation out > that the community can use without infringing on Intersil's rights. As I said, I have implemented this kind of a driver for research purposes a while ago. Host AP mode is actually quite nice platform for 802.11 related research and experiments. Of course freely available f/w source code and development environment would be even nicer, but Host AP mode comes as a good runner up in my opinion. I implemented software AP as a Linux driver that uses Host AP mode available in Intersil's STA f/w (already present in each Prism2-based wireless LAN card). STA f/w (i.e., MAC processor) takes care of the time critical tasks (beacon sending, frame acknowledging and broadcast/multicast packet sending for power saving STAs after DTIM). The Linux driver (i.e., host CPU) takes care of rest of the management frames (authentication, association, PS Polling for unicast frames, packet buffering for power saving STAs). WEP encryption/decryption can be performed either on MAC or host CPU. The code is for research, but more or less all the functionality required from an AP is already working quite fine. I have also added a method of getting all the 802.11 frames into user space (e.g., for a traffic sniffer) and similar method for sending freely constructed 802.11 frames from user space. These are also quite useful functions for various experiments. In addition to being quite nice research platform, the driver does not have any proprietary code from Intersil or any need for additional firmware. There seems to be increasing interest toward 802.11 research and I surely agree that it would be nice to have a freely available AP implementation. Thus, I have been considering of releasing the code for software AP under GPL. As far as I know, there should be no obstacles for this. Of course I cannot publish any confidential documentation, but releasing the code seems to be all right and, anyway, all the information needed for this is already available from public sources (although requiring quite a bit of searching and learning from source code). Before releasing the driver, I still need to check couple of things. In addition, I will first clean up the code a bit and make it easier for others to use (e.g., as a tar packet that can be extracted on top of pcmcia-cs).

With considerable help from him, I got my Compaq WL100 card running as an access point on a linux 2.4.3 kernel. Now that the system's up and running, how do I configure it? When running in infrastructure mode, the AP forces the data rate to 2 Mb/s in all nodes, even for nodes that are very close. However, when I change to ad-hoc mode, I can get 11 Mb/s up to about 100 feet. I see the utilities wlanctl-ng, wland and wlancfg, but there is no user documentation for them that I can find.

I'd sucessfully been using 3com airconnect cards with Linux, so felt I would have picked up the necessary bits of information to get the Nokia cards to work. I worked on the basis that Nokia was unlikely to re-invent the wheel, so would probably re-badge someone else's - so I tried loading the modules for all the then know prism2 supported devices - On some the modules would load, others would crash everything. If you find anything that looks promising yourself, please post it back to linux-wlan-devel, as I'm sure there are others keen to have a go. Sorry I can't be much help.... I did try the nokia cards with a small Yagi antenna - the best that I could get 'on trial' at the time was a directional 'internal' unit (but when used in pairs, I'd been advised that over a mile was possible). Results were poor - outdoor range with reasonably clear line of site was about 100 yards. I needed half a mile!

The Compaq WL-200 card uses a standard SMA left-hand thread connector. You can purchase them (in Australia at least) from RS Electronic Components (Radio Spares). There are lots of different types of the connectors, including different models to connect to two different types (thicknesses) of cable, and crimp versus solder connects. The thicker cable type has a lower db loss per metre than the thinner cable. The cable is *very* expensive (like A$50/m). The connectors are not too expensive but are certainly not cheap. Note that it appears that cable length has a significant impact on any db gain that you may get from your antenna, for example the Lucent 4db gain external antenna actually only has a gain of something like 2.5db after factoring in the loss from the 1.5m cable. This high signal loss may explain why many manufacturers do not provide the ability to connect external antennas to their cards. There are sites in Australia where you can buy a SMA-to-N pigtail (e.g. http://www.x.net.au/products.html), however you can get one from Radio Spares for a lot less (~A$13 versus A$50). Apparently the SMA left-hand thread is an industry standard for 2.4GHz microwave connectors, however there is a significant resistance to adopt this type of connector (probably because of the high cost and difficulty sourcing the components). You can see this when you look at the websites of companies that make 2.4GHz antennas (e.g. pacific satellite (australia)) where they usually provide N type connectors rather than SMA. You should probably also note that SMA type connectors are also used on some oscilloscope devices (particularly the handheld type I believe - probably because of the small size of the connector), so their use is not limited to 802.11-type equipment. Hope this helps. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Denis Cheong | `Today I am zylantha@bigfoot.com | a small blue thing | Like a marble | or an eye' | | - Suzanne Vega - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Get your free e-mail account with *unlimited* storage at http://www.ftnetwork.com Visit the web site of the Financial Times at http://www.ft.com -------------------------------------------------- Linux WLAN Developer's List For more information about this list see: http://www.absoval.com/linux-wlan/lists.html From linux-wlan-devel@absoval.com Sun Apr 22 17:09:40 2001 From: linux-wlan-devel@absoval.com (Tim Ehlers) Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 19:09:40 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [lwlan-devel]: Re: 11MBit Prism2 with external Antenna for Long Distance Bridge Message-ID: On Sun Apr 22 2001, Kelly Edward Murray wrote: >Tim, > Is there some particular reason you must use "Managed-Mode Master", > or what is usually called an Access Point. > It certainly isn't required.

Yes, there are 3 reasons. The most important Reason is, that I want to connect multipile Computers with one Access Point (or Computer with Prism2 Card). These Computers do not see eachother, because they are located in different Houses. But they can all reach the Access Point via directional antennas. So this is not possible im Ad-Hoc Mode. Another reason ist that you can Bridge in AP Mode. This ist impossible due to firmware-Restrictions in Ad-Hoc mode (this feature is not nessessary, but nice). And the Mode ist also better, because you can actually as AP say, which Channel is used. In Ad-hoc Mode (IBSS) the Channels are always scanned. And when you see a Signal with same ESSID on another Channel, you switch to this channel. So you can't rely on staying on one paticular channel.

The ad-hoc-mode-AP is set as the gateway, it will forward packets back to the other homes. For Wireless ISP's they usually want to prevent this from happening, which is impossible to do if using an AP. > > So this is not possible im Ad-Hoc Mode.

This is true, only AP mode functions as a bridge. In my opinion this is done to make connecting through the wireless AP a transparent connection into the wired network of the AP, typical of indoor installation that use wireless to extend the wired network. > > And the Mode ist also better, because you can actually as AP say, which > Channel is used.

So you can't rely on staying on one paticular channel. I think you have that backwards, AP mode supports automatic channel scanning/switching (to support roaming) and ad-hoc mode requires a fixed channel. Hope that helps.

As we can read in the Intersil docs, the MAC state machine is implemented in the firmware (which is a pure black box to some of us!! WHERE CAN WE GET DETAIL INFO ABOUT WHAT EACH FIRMWARE IMPLEMENTS??? ) ;-( Intersil is not helping anyone I belive???? which means that all control and managment frames are treated by the card and in the driver, we only get info events :-( (using firmware based AP mode -> "Intersil Driver Programmer's Manual") not loading the terciary module (fw), (we hoppped that we could drive a "host-based AP mode" station/AP ) but the managment and control frames still don't reach the driver... So one of two things would be interesting: 1 - Get a good specification of the things implemented in the firmware we shall use !

References: <3AC311E6.32B8F3FC@zhwin.ch> Message-ID: <00ad01c0ca4d$8ffba4a0$842375c2@inesc.pt> Hi everyone, Like our friend here, I also am having problems with this frames. As we can read in the Intersil docs, the MAC state machine is implemented in the firmware (which is a pure black box to some of us!! WHERE CAN WE GET DETAIL INFO ABOUT WHAT EACH FIRMWARE IMPLEMENTS??? ) ;-( Intersil is not helping anyone I belive???? which means that all control and managment frames are treated by the card and in the driver, we only get info events :-( (using firmware based AP mode -> "Intersil Driver Programmer's Manual") not loading the terciary module (fw), (we hoppped that we could drive a "host-based AP mode" station/AP ) but the managment and control frames still don't reach the driver... So one of two things would be interesting: 1 - Get a good specification of the things implemented in the firmware we shall use ! (fw-based AP mode) or 2 - "Disconnect" the state machine in the fw, and get managment and control frames i the driver, and do it "all" ourselves !!

When I try to compil prism2dl (I find it on the list on february ...), it says that HFA384x_PDA_BASE doesn't exit . In hfa384x.h, HFA3841_PDA_BASE and HFA3842_PDA_BASE are defined. I'm tempted to use one to replase HFA384x_PDA_BASE. But it's written that this utility is a little bit dangerous for my card ... Do I missed anything or I just have to check which chip the card use and change it in prism2dl ? Thanks Jean Poizat PS : when I read the log file, to identify NIC h/w (it's the hfa num, it is ?), I got 8008 ... and the intersil programmer doc go from 8000 to 8007 ...

Thus, the same generation string should generate the same set of keys for both windows OS and Linux OS.

Its document says that it uses algorithm from Neesus Datacom Inc. WEP program on Windows: An application provided by Neesus Datacom Inc. At bit 64, both of them generate the same set of keys. At bit 128, linux generates: 1b:9d:da:48:3d:94:1e:41:48:d0:91:b3:cd f0:63:e3:8d:00:86:c9:31:55:05:13:3b:b7 97:6d:3d:c6:74:00:48:96:67:38:a8:9d:24 cb:ce:cf:dd:f7:8e:07:10:0b:8b:a9:a3:28 windows generates: Key 1: 9f:df:3b:fd:fb:10:af:eb:09:25:ef:96:05 (the application only generates 1 key at 128-bit) Any hints here?

My pcmcia driver (pcmcia-cs-3.1.19) loads just fine, but once I insert my DWL-650, my computer locks up (sometimes with an ongoing high-pitched beep) until I eject the card. Once the card is ejected, operation resumes. I first assumed this was a resource allocation problem. I varied the memory window, IRQs, and IO ranges used by the pcmcia adapter, but to no avail. Does the DWL-500 have to run on IRQ 9??? I'm running on a pentiumII desktop.

It looks like you were successful with the earlier version, linux-wlan-ng-v0.1.7, and a patch for PCI adapters that you called prism2-pci-patch-01. Where can this patch be found? I can't find it on the absolval site or with a Google search. Since v0.1.7 plus the patch for PCI was working, and now v0.1.8-pre11 does not work, I'm wondering if/when this capability will be restored in a newer version. I'd be happy to try the patch for v0.1.7 until a newer version is available. If you have the patch, can you please send it to me? Thanks!

I would like to bridge the wireless segment to the ethernet segment that is on eth0. I have gotten this to work in the past with Proxim Symphony cards, I'd like to get the improved performance offered by the 802.11b wireless networking. I'd like to use the Ad-Hoc or AP mode for the Linux server with 802.11b so that I don't have to buy an Access Point from Linksys. I've gotten the wlan drivers to compile and load with some help from seanj (thanks!). The first issue was to get the driver to recognize the PCI adapter. The Linksys PCI adapter that I have seems to be one minor bump newer than the Global Sun Technology one listed in linux-wlan-ng-0.1.8-pre11/src/prism2/driver/prism2sta.c. I changed: #define GL_GL24110P_ID 0x110116ab /* Global Sun Tech GL24110P PCI Adapter (PLX) board device+vendor ID */ to: #define GL_GL24110P_ID 0x110216ab /* Global Sun Tech GL24110P PCI Adapter (PLX) board device+vendor ID */ I was then able to compile the drivers. I was a little confused at first that I had to install and config the PCMCIA-source package to get the PLX drivers to compile, since this is a desktop machine and not a notebook, but a careful reading of the wlan README helped. It would be nice if loading PCMCIA-source for a desktop using a PCI adapter wasn't necessary in the future. I didn't actually compile the PCMCIA but I had to do a make config. I put p80211 and prism2_plx in /etc/modules and they are loaded without error at boot time. I manually copied the pci support scripts from linux-wlan-ng-0.1.8-pre11/etc/wlan_pci to /etc/wlan_pci and went though the options in wlan-ng.opts. When I set IS_AP=y and type ./wlan-ng start wlan0 I get: AP not started, resultcode=not_supported If I set IS_AP=n and type ./wlan-ng start wlan0 I get a bunch of resultcode=success messages from the STA block that is executed in wlan-ng. At this point I can set the IP address of the interface and bring it up with with: ifconfig wlan0 inet 192.168.20.250 ifconfig wlan0 up ifconfig wlan0 gives: wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:5A:0D:0B:0B inet addr:192.168.20.250 Bcast:192.168.20.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:12 Base address:0xd400 I can ping the 192.168.20.250 address. So, this all looks pretty good except that I can't see a way to set Ad-Hoc mode in wlan-ng.opts. When I dug around in the source for the drivers I found a couple of lines that read "/* Ad-Hoc not quite supported on Prism2 */" in prism2mgmt.c. I am presuming that being in STA mode makes this Linux box a station to another wireless Access Point. I think I need to be in AP or Ad-Hoc mode on the Linux box so that it can act as the bridge to the rest of the wired network. Please correct me if I'm mistaken ;-) Can someone please help me get this running in AP or Ad-Hoc mode? It looks like I'm very close. Thanks very much.

I've got a problem that isn't very = similar to=20 others I've read about on this list. Here's my situation:
 
Everything seems to be working = properly, I'm=20 authenticated with the AP (teletronics), the red-light
on the back of the NIC is solid. When I = run wlancfg=20 show wlan0 all the BSSID shows up. The problem
I'm having is that whenever I try to = send any=20 packets out I get the message
 
'Tx attempt = prior to=20 association, frame dropped'
 
and that's it. Other than that the card = acts like=20 its working perfectly!
 
I read about certain interrupt problems with this = card,=20 however mine seems to be getting a correct IRQ.=20
 
I've updated the firmware of the card to the newest = version=20 from Compaq's site.

This = is what I=20 have:
 
compaq ProLinea 575e
compaq WL200 PCI card (IRQ = 3)
3com Etherlink NIC (IRQ = 10)
RedHat 7.0 kernel = 2.2.16-22

I've got a problem that isn't very = similar to=20 others I've read about on this list. Here's my situation:
 
Everything seems to be working = properly, I'm=20 authenticated with the AP (teletronics), the red-light
on the back of the NIC is solid. When I = run wlancfg=20 show wlan0 all the BSSID shows up. The problem
I'm having is that whenever I try to = send any=20 packets out I get the message
 
'Tx attempt = prior to=20 association, frame dropped'
 
and that's it. Other than that the card = acts like=20 its working perfectly!
 
I read about certain interrupt problems with this = card,=20 however mine seems to be getting a correct IRQ.=20
 
I've updated the firmware of the card to the newest = version=20 from Compaq's site.

This = is what I=20 have:
 
compaq ProLinea 575e
compaq WL200 PCI card (IRQ = 3)
3com Etherlink NIC (IRQ = 10)
RedHat 7.0 kernel = 2.2.16-22

All IP-traffic is happy and I really don't have much trouble with that, but having an Airport card in my Mac I wanted to access our printer using my "AP"... Which isn't possible, not ehtertalk traffic seem to be "bridged/routed" through the linux-machine... I can see the ethernet-packages using tcpdump but they aren't forwarded as they should...

I guess the problem here is that you are using gcc provided with rh7. That is experimental an can not compile plenty of things. Instal "kgcc" for rh7 and compile everyting with that.

I guess the problem here is that you are using gcc provided with rh7. That is experimental an can not compile plenty of things. Instal "kgcc" for rh7 and compile everyting with that.

[lwlan-user]: experience with APs under Linux? References: Message-ID: <3AD14CA7.4C9A6519@home.com> I can only report on the DLINK 1000AP, which works transparently with Lucent/Orinoco card (no encryption, but no config needed either), and also works fine with the Dlink 650 card (have to config the AP 1st and the only way I could figure out how to do that was to use WinNT on the laptop, set the ID and the various encryption stuff and then it also worked fine). Distance sensitivity for the Dlink card and AP seems to be a bit less than with an Orinoco, but mounted high in our garage (a bit off center for the house) it gets to all points in our house without problems and even far enough for my neighbor to use it in all points in his house as well, allowing him to hop onto my cable modem, making him a VERY happy camper.. >From past postings you can see that the Orinoco is better supported under Linux, but the card (and especially the AP) are more expensive. The AP is 3 times cost of the Dlink AP, I think (but also has better range as well, and some nice features - there was a brief writeup on some of these combos in Infoworld about a month ago, I think.

System is RedHat 7 - setup in the default 'server' configuration, but I added the kernel source. Got pcmcia-cs-3.1.25 from sourcefourge, and linux-wlan-ng-0.1.7 , unpacked in /usr/src. Using a Ricoh RL5C475II Cardbus-PCI adaptor with a D-Link DWL500 wireless adaptor (it's a desktop system obviously...) Ok. I have read a LOT about pcmcia setup issues today, but I am not sure where the problems are happening - I can't narrow it down - when I install the pcmcia package, (run make config with no errors, using defaults) as I run make all, I get the following error a LOT of times: {standard input}:Assembler messages: {standard input}:9:Warning: Ignoring changed section attributes for .modinfo The :9: is sometimes :47:, :15:, etc... Then I run make install, and things go thru until depmod when I get 2 errors with unresolved symbols for 2 different .o files (can't seem to get this one to repeat tonight - my brain is fried!) Problem 2: I then run make config (using defaults) for wlan-ng-0.1.7, and run make all - things seem cool until make install - and I get: warning: redefined The next line of error shows me where the "location of previous definition" is. This error repeats a LOT. Then, I'll try to get things cooking - I already discovered that if I don't change the PCIC_OPTS in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia to something other than "irq_mode=0" I get a kernel panic on boot - and EVERYTHING hangs...so I try to figure out what the interrupt problem is... Turns out that my Ricoh bridge (supposed to be supported?!?) is saying to the PCIC probe that it's an "unknown interrupt handler" - it recognizes the fact that it's there, and that it's a Ricoh, but doesn't understand the mapping. I attempted to figure out how to fix that by reading a pcmcia howto - but the fixes suggested in there didn't change anything. I guessed at an irq, put it in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia (PCIC_OPTS="irq_list=10") and put in the card just for fun. Well, that is the closest I got to functioning - the card inserted fine, started up, /proc/interrupts said things were cool on irq10, and was actually sending requests....the access point recognized that a card came up in the area (yes my SSID is right) and it seemed that things were gonna work... But after about 15 seconds, the AP goes bonkers, and there is no connection after all. I have to reset the AP, and I checked /var/log/messages - something about network +UUUUUUUUU "command not understood" happened around that 30 second mark. Basically - how the heck have you guys gotten this crazy thing to work?!?!? I have RTFM'd myself to sleep tonight, so maybe someone has something totally elementary that I am missing. I'll try to provide outputs of these errors, but my brain is so mush tonight that I don't even remember how right now. :) TIA, and sorry for the long post.

Message-ID: <3AD13237.3D790319@mit.edu> I recently attempted to use linux-wlan software with a NetBlaster II PC Card. I thought this might work since this card is a PRISM2 card. After following the README installation instructions, here's what happens: Inserting the card (or rebooting) gives the following messages: p80211.o: 0.1.7 Loaded init_module: prism2_cs.o: 0.1.7 Loaded init_module: dev_info is: prism2_cs prism2_cs: index 0x01: Vcc 3.3, irq 3, io 0x0100-0x013f prism2sta_initmac: Failed, result=-61 prism2sta_event: MAC Initialization failed. So, the MAC address appears not to be found properly. For some more background, here's the results of cardctl ident: Socket 0: no product info available Socket 1: product info: "IEEE 802.11b", "Wireless LAN PC Card/11M", "Version 01.02", "" manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002 function: 6 (network) And, the results of cardctl config: Socket 0: not configured Socket 1: Vcc = 3.3, Vpp1 = 0.0, Vpp2 = 0.0 Interface type is memory and I/O IRQ 3 is exclusive, level mode, enabled Function 0: Config register base = 0x03e0 Option = 0x41 I/O window 1: 0x0100 to 0x013f, 16 bit My questions are: (1) Do I have any hope of getting this card to work with linux-wlan? (2) If so, any suggestions what to do next? Regards, Dave Darmofal ----------------------------------------- David L.

I'm using a SMC2632W card (which apparently uses the Intersil chip) talking to SMC's wireless router. It worked like a champ once I turned off WEP. The WEP works fine between the same set of hardware when I am running Windows 2000 on the laptop so it is shouldn't be hardware related. I've tried both using genstr and directly providing a key (but not both at the same time). I got both methods to work on the Windows side, but the only thing that seems to work on the linux side is turning off WEP entirely. Any clues as to what I might be missing, or is this just not implemented yet?

I have a feeling that interface name is what it says (names a interface, so user can use it instead of struct device pointer) and does not say anything about what interface the driver exports.

That would only happen if wlanctl tried to ioctl a non-wlan device. The reason I'm considering this change is because I'd eventually like the wlan device to be a native 802.11 frame interface. We'd still support the ethernet top edge to prevent breakage of programs that use raw sockets. Therefore, I'd like to reserve "wlan" for 802.11 native interfaces and "eth" for 'post-ethernet conversion' type interfaces. Now, I guess we could do something like "weth" for the 'post conversion' interfaces. What do you think? -M -- Mark S. Mathews AbsoluteValue Systems Web: http://www.linux-wlan.com P.O.

This is true, except that I feel fairly strongly that a device that produces etherner frames on a raw socket should have an 'eth' name. For the private ioctls we do a magic number test, so there isn't much risk of trouble. -M -- Mark S. Mathews AbsoluteValue Systems Web: http://www.linux-wlan.com P.O.

Using eth0 would allow all my I am not sure if you can do this with ifconfig, but from 2.2.x kernel version interface code in kernel supports ioctl SIOCSIFNAME, so if you do not feel comfortable with wvlan0 you can write small program to change this name to whatever you want.

Sorry to bother you with this, but I'm trying to get a software AP up and going, and need some input. First of all: what card should I buy? After reading both the FAQ and some other documents, it seems like there is no guarantee that I can get a 802.11b AP up and running with this project yet. Is this correct? The status of the 3 different projects 0.3.4, 0.1.7 and 0.1.8 is a bit unclear to me, and what Linux will these run on? I have tried to compile the 0.1.7 (which is most interesting for me) on both Linux 2.2.18 and 2.4.3 (with pcmcia-cs 3.2.25).

It works as long as I'm close enough to my access point to get 11Mbps. As soon as I move away (and where the card under Windows would give me a lower data rate), I get no data throughput. It's as if the driver is saying "11Mbps or zero bps". Moving back into range appears to cure it. So does removing and reinserting the card (until the next drop). Does the driver support rates other than 11Mbps? If so, what might I have to do to enable it?

At the same time, though, there are a *lot* of people out there who have already made a committment to wireless technology. Many of these people probably won't upgrade in the future, for whatever reason. That being said, it's likely that there will be a lot of wireless networks that conform to today's (lax) security standards. Although newer and better technologies may come out, the old stuff will need to be supported for some time, and at least made to be "as secure" as possible. It's certainly not your responsibility to educate the world, but it is food for thought. Thanks, Mark Lachniet "Mark S.

Mathews) Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2001 19:17:57 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [lwlan-user]: WEP Security uncovered In-Reply-To: Message-ID: I guess I should retract the word gross. That was an overstatement on my part. My note was an off-the-cuff response to too many e-mails I received with various links to news items citing this paper. My apologies if my comments seemed inflammatory. It just seems that we're rehashing the same old arguments over and over. Yes, WEP and 802.11 shared key authentication are flawed. If you need an absolutely secure link, don't rely on them. WEP was never intended to be as secure as something like SSH or IPSec. The original authors of the standard included some weasel words in the standard to state that they knew it wasn't perfect. But, they needed something in the standard and it had to be something that could be demonstrably implemented in a relatively small number of gates. Ah, politics. ;-) There is a lot of effort going on, that is fairly close to being finished, that should tighten things up considerably. I still doubt that I'd use a layer 2 mechanism to secure my communications. SSH, IPSec, CIPE, etc. are all freely available and the goals of those projects is _specifically_ secure communications. The 802.11 crew has so many things on their plate that they just can't focus all of their energy on security issues. The other thing that galls a bit is that folks are pinging on a technology that can be implemented with $100 nodes. And yet they want the same level of security that corporations, government and the military pay 10s or 100s of thousands of dollars per node for. Oh, yeah, and I guess the speed of light is too slow too... (just kidding) I guess I should refrain from being so hasty in a public forum. Best Regards, -Mark On Wed, 4 Apr 2001, Mark S.

The problem is that the PCI-PCMCIA bridge isn't a true bridge - it basically just maps the card onto the PCI bus transparently, so the PCMCIA stuff doesn't work. But the card is actually a Eumitcom WL11000P and there is a patch on their web site that supposedly will make it work. I haven't had a lot of luck though. I was actually up til 3 AM this morning trying to make it work. It's kind of buggy too. The module won't unload properly (I get a seg fault when I rmmod) and you'll have to reboot if you try. And you'll need to cold reboot, since it seems to put the card in some mode such that it doesn't recognize it the next time you try to load the module - that cost me quite a bit of time. I hacked the module a little bit myself too because "out of the box" if the module doesn't recognize the card it still appears to load since is was reporting success even on a failure. I did fix that. I finally got the drivers to successfully load and an interface set up, but my Lucent card in my Win2K based laptop isn't seeing it, so I think I still have some configuration issues. I'm currently trying to run in peer-to-peer mode, but I would actually prefer to use the Addtron in access point mode if possible. At any rate, go grab the patch at http://www.eumitcom.com/html/wlan3.htm and have a go with it.

If you have sufficient points to make, I'd also highly suggest that you generate a posting to BUGTRAQ. There are a lot of people who take papers like this very seriously. Being that there are essentially some very negative statements about the security of wireless, these types of papers may adversely affect the wireless industry. That's bad for business! Further, if you know of any documentation on how to actually configure the most secure type of wireless network possible, this would be a great addition to the body of knowledge. Its clearly something a lot of people need to know. Personally, I lean towards VPN over Wireless, but this obviously not easy to implement. Thanks, Mark Lachniet "Mark S.

Concerning other cards, at this moment I use them in other PCs, if it is important I can try it in that PC, but, I think that the problem is NOT that PC, cause I tried Emtac 11 Mbps in other 2 PCs (which always has been worked with other cards) reporting same problems (resource not available and so on.) as first PC. So I guess problem could be (not necessary, maybe I wrong something) driver 11 Mbps cards when applied to an Emtac 11 Mbps card. Also I don't understand why some times I can enter "dump_cis" receiving info and other times, if I try it, I receive a broken dump! I have to say that Emtac 11 Mbps are well working under windows system (so card should not be defective). Maybe if someone has get Emtac 11 working under linux could help us understand. dump_cis -v using an Emtac 2 Mbps with wlan-0.3.4 driver: -------------------------------------- Socket 0: offset 0x02, tuple 0x01, link 0x03 d9 03 ff dev_info fn_specific 250ns, 32kb offset 0x07, tuple 0x1c, link 0x04 01 d9 03 ff offset 0x0d, tuple 0x17, link 0x03 d9 01 ff attr_dev_info fn_specific 250ns, 2kb offset 0x12, tuple 0x1d, link 0x04 01 d9 01 ff offset 0x18, tuple 0x20, link 0x04 00 00 00 00 manfid 0x0000, 0x0000 offset 0x1e, tuple 0x21, link 0x02 06 00 funcid network_adapter offset 0x22, tuple 0x22, link 0x02 01 07 lan_technology wireless offset 0x26, tuple 0x22, link 0x05 02 80 84 1e 00 lan_speed 2 mb/sec offset 0x2d, tuple 0x22, link 0x02 03 07 lan_media 2.4_GHz offset 0x31, tuple 0x22, link 0x08 04 06 00 50 c2 01 93 7e lan_node_id 00 50 c2 01 93 7e offset 0x3b, tuple 0x22, link 0x02 05 00 lan_connector Open connector standard offset 0x3f, tuple 0x15, link 0x12 05 00 41 4d 44 00 41 6d 37 39 43 39 33 30 00 00 00 ff vers_1 5.0, "AMD", "Am79C930", "", "" offset 0x53, tuple 0x1a, link 0x05 01 02 00 08 03 config base 0x0800 mask 0x0003 last_index 0x02 offset 0x5a, tuple 0x1b, link 0x12 c1 81 fd 71 55 2e 2e 2d fc 14 24 10 b8 ff 28 80 00 20 cftable_entry 0x01 [default] [mwait] [pwrdown] Vcc Vnom 5V Iavg 250mA Ipeak 250mA Idown 25mA timing wait 12us io 0x0000-0x000f [lines=4] [8bit] irq mask 0xffb8 memory 0x0000-0x7fff @ 0x0000 offset 0x6e, tuple 0x1b, link 0x0f c2 01 9d 71 55 2e 2e 2d fc 14 24 10 b8 ff 20 cftable_entry 0x02 [default] [pwrdown] Vcc Vnom 5V Iavg 250mA Ipeak 250mA Idown 25mA timing wait 12us io 0x0000-0x000f [lines=4] [8bit] irq mask 0xffb8 Socket 1: no CIS present ------------------------------------------ while LOG info (from /var/log/messages) about Emtac 2 Mbps is: ------------------------------------------ Apr 3 15:04:02 casa cardmgr[612]: socket 0: Harris PRISM Apr 3 15:04:02 casa cardmgr[612]: executing: 'insmod /lib/modules/2.2.14-12/pcmcia/am930_cs.o' Apr 3 15:04:02 casa kernel: Linux WLAN 0.3.4 Apr 3 15:04:02 casa kernel: am930: io=0x100 irq=10 Apr 3 15:04:02 casa kernel: am930: Firmware Banner: PCnetMobile:v2.01 101498 API005 Apr 3 15:04:02 casa kernel: f/w version:2.01 date:101498 api:5 Apr 3 15:04:02 casa kernel: am930hw_construct: Reset and f/w TestInterface are successful Apr 3 15:04:02 casa kernel: am930hw_init_tx_queues: Allocated 5 tx slots Apr 3 15:04:02 casa kernel: am930llc_construct: Device eth2 registered Apr 3 15:04:02 casa cardmgr[612]: executing: './wlan start eth2' Apr 3 15:04:03 casa cardmgr[612]: + wlan scanning channels to Apr 3 15:04:03 casa kernel: am930mgr_scanbegin: scanning channel 8 Apr 3 15:04:03 casa cardmgr[612]: + Detected BSSs: Apr 3 15:04:03 casa cardmgr[612]: + ch bssid bcn cap_info ssid Apr 3 15:04:03 casa cardmgr[612]: + ------------------------------------------------------ Apr 3 15:04:03 casa cardmgr[612]: + 08 d6:fd:6f:00:00:00 0100 0x0002 LINUX Apr 3 15:04:03 casa kernel: ethconv=rfc1042 Apr 3 15:04:03 casa cardmgr[612]: + wlan joined BSS, channel=08 bssid=d6:fd:6f:00:00:00 ssid="LINUX" --------------------------------------------------- Output from "dmesg" is: ------------------------- init_module:am930cs.c 0.1.2 1998/08/07 Linux WLAN 0.3.4 Inspecting CFTABLE[1] Inspecting CFTABLE[2] CFTABLE index 0x02: Vcc 5.0 irq 10 io 0x0100-0x010f am930: io=0x100 irq=10 am930: Firmware Banner: PCnetMobile:v2.01 101498 API005 f/w version:2.01 date:101498 api:5 am930hw_construct: Reset and f/w TestInterface are successful am930hw_init_tx_queues: Allocated 5 tx slots am930llc_construct: Device eth2 registered am930mgr_scanbegin: scanning channel 8 ethconv=rfc1042 Multicast filters currently unsupported.
