 |

Hi all..
Anybody who managed to set the "accesspoint mac" with iwconfig on a oninoco gold card?
I used the so often posted link in this forum to configure my card.
The card is running and there are no problems connecting to various access points.
Encryption seems to work (no errors..but not tested).
Now I would like to set the accesspoint mac "by hand"...does not work...
same with frequency/channel..
a bit system output: (hmm i try to format it as code...dont know if right)

I have exactly the same problem!! I have now been intensively been searching for 24h 
WHat drivers do you use ? Kernel's or pcmcia-cs-drivers ?
I use pcmcia-cs-drivers and I have firmware 8.72 (latest one). I updated from 7.28 thinking that could be the cause of the problem...
But maybe is iwconfig that mishandles these requests.... |

Yenta_socket is not included in the pcmcia-cs-drivers and I dont find it in the kernel config...
Well, I'll just have to get used to use AP in "any" mode... most of the times it is enough... |

pcmcia-cs
Is it possible to run the avaya driver (wavelan2_cs) without downgrading from gcc3 to gcc2?
Any hints for compiling? I think avaya has to provide a gcc3 version.. am I right?
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# insmod wavelan2_cs.o
wavelan2_cs.o: The module you are trying to load (wavelan2_cs.o) is compiled with a gcc
version 2 compiler, while the kernel you are running is compiled with
a gcc version 3 compiler. This is known to not work.
