Ideas?
Before running "iwconfig wlan0 channel 8", the card is set to
802.11a mode. iwconfig shows rate at 54Mb/s. But after setting the
channel, it sets to 802.11b mode, and I can't find a way to change
from 11Mb/s to 54MB/s.
"iwlist eth0 rate" only show up to 11Mb/s.
So, my problem is the card is always in 802.11b mode.
So I guess there is a common problem with a/bg modes?
Regardless of what iwconfig reports as the mode or rate, you should be
able to associate to an AP in either spectrum (2.4 or 5.2) using any
valid rate. Once configured and associated, iwconfig should provide
more correct information.
If association is failing, verify that 'iwlist scan' shows the AP and
that you specify everything for the association, eg:
iwconfig wlan0 channel 8 essid MyAP ap 00:13:f0:0d:ca:fe
d80211 will only attempt to associate once -- if it fails, then you need
to currently "de-configure" the device and reconfigure it back to what
you want to associate to. I do that here by chaging the AP BSSID to
something else then changing it back. If you use wpa_supplicant, it
does the re-association attempts for you.
