hi,
(!sorry for my bad english!)
as u can see iam kinda new to this wirless stuff. well i have got a problem with my wlan card (D-Link DWL-650 11Mbit).
first what i have got installed:
-linux 2.4.9
-pcmcia-cs 3.2.3
-wireless_tools 25
-wlan-ng 0.2.0 (does support prism2 - my D-Link- does support wireless extensions)
now lets come to the problem:
# i put in my d-link pcmcia card in; make a tail /var/log/messages
[...]
cardmgr[156]: + resultcode=success
# cat /proc/net/wireless
wlan0: 0000 0 187 166 0 0 0 # seems like everything is all right (there is no access point/client to reach)
# iwconfig wlan0 ap 00:00:00:00:00:00 # just to try
Error for wireless request "Set AP address" (8B14)
SET failed on device wlan0: funktion not implemented
# iwconfig wlan0
Warning: Driver for device wlan0 recommend version 13 of Wireless Extension but has been compiled with version 11, therefore some driver features may not be available...
wlan0 IEEE 802.11-b ESSID ""
[...]
another error message i get with other progs is:
"gerneric source SIOCSIWESSID faild: Function not implemented"
me thinks i have to get wireless extensions >= 13 and recompile my driver (supports this card).
i have searched a lot to find a solution for the problem- failed.
all i have found was things like "wireless-tools" and infos what extensions they support, but not where to get or how to update the latest wireless extensions.
i asked a friend of mine who told me to cp /usr/src/include/linux/include/wireless.h /usr/include/linux
but these to files were the same.
cat wireless.h grep "* Version"
* Version : 11 28.3.01
# kinda old...
well i hope u can help me, plz...
much thanks for ur time!
