Hi, all,
Here is our current status WRT usb + hostapd and the latest
kernel.
serailmonkey's git tree (2.6.22-rc6?)
Hostapd (latest git)
Cisco's Aegis client (Meetinghouse) for the HandHeld PC
(Windows mobile)
It can see it, and starts to authenticate.
We had to adjust the eapol timeout in hostapd to get it to
connect.
It authenticates but disconnects soon after (before getting
an IP
address from dhcpd.
The problem seems to be related to signal strength. We used
the packet
dumping function to check this. In one direction (from the
handheld to
the host,) the signal strength seems valid. (100% up close,
then 90,
78, 70 as you move further away.) But in the other direction
the
signal strength is somewhere around 1% or less. We think
this is why
the connection state is being reset.
Question, are there any known "good" devices that
work with
DRIVER=devicescape in hostapd.conf? Doesn't have to be USB.
And if anyone has this working, can they send/post a log
file with
some packet dumps in them? The only requirement is to use
the wlan0
and devicecape driver in hostapd.conf.
Thanks
Ed
