Using another wireless channel with ipw2100
Hey all,
I've got a problem when I try to set up a wireless connection to my university's network. I used a howto (can't say which one since i can't post urls because I'm new, but google for "vu wlan howto" and it's the first match) to try and set it up, and as far as I can tell, that all works fine. However, when starting xsupplicant it hangs and doesn't authenticate. Together with a classmate we figured out that it may be because the university's network is provided at channel 6, while my network card tries to connect through channel 11. However, the ipw2100 faq states that: Quote:
Is there a workaround to change to channel 6 while in managed mode? I vaguely remember reading something about being able to set the channel when loading the drivers. Could that be true, and if so, how do I do that? (I'm kinda new to this whole linux thing ;) ) Or do I just have to wait until the driver implements this feature? Finally, some iw* commands: Code:
# iwlist scan Thanks for any help! |

Have you got the card working on a AP that doesn`t use encryption. Usually you don`t need to set the channel. What lines do you use to connect?
