Hi,
I am trying to change several of the mib parameters and am having no
luck. I am new to
device drivers and concerned that I'm missing something. I wondered
if someone might be able to help.
I am currently using the Intersil eval board "Prism II Reference Design
HWB3163-EVAL"
with linux-wlan-ng_0.1.7.
I am trying to modify the MAC address and/or the Station ID.
I made the following changes to /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng:
$WLANCTL $DEVICE dot11req_mibset \
"mibattribute=dot11MACAddress=04:44:44:44:44:44"
$WLANCTL $DEVICE dot11req_mibset \
"mibattribute=dot11StationID=04:33:33:33:33:33"
I have tried adding these parameters separately also.
>From debug, it appears that the correct code is being initiated.
in src/prism2/driver/prism2mib.c:
case DIDmib_dot11smt_dot11StationConfigTable_dot11StationID
case DIDmib_dot11mib_dot11OperationTable_dot11MACAddress
The call to hfa384x_drvr_setconfig returns success. However the values
are not being
modified. Even though the address is not being modified when I try to
change
dot11MACAddress, the network becomes unreachable.
The documentation indicates that both fields are R/W. However, in file
p80211metamib.c, the item dot11MACAddress was listed as READONLY. I
changed
the value of this to READWRITE but no luck.
Any help you could give me would be appreciated. Any idea when there
might be a
new release of the driver? I'm looking for additional capabilities
that might have already
been added.
Thanks,
Terry Podwika
