Hello! Yesterday, I installed ipw driver on my Thinkpad R50 laptop running SX 10/05. Everything worked fine. However, today I experienced strange behavior. The card manages to connect to a wireless network (wificonfig says connected, reports signal level medium/strong), but when trying to obtain the dhcp lease, it sends packets which seem malformed. I've captured these broadcast packets on another machine and they are obviously invalid. I've attached one such packet to this mail. Note that not only is it shorter than it should be, it also has Ether Type of 0x0600, and it should be 0x0800.
That packet should have been a DHCP discovery request. This packet, when captured on the laptop which sent it, looks fine. So, this definitely looks like it has something to do with the driver level functionality. The hostname is vega, and that is what is the last thing visible in the dump. P.S. I've just found out that it works with my DLink AP at home, but the problem occurs with (I think) Planet's AP at work. -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...
