Hi, I bought a minitar thingamabob with antenna etc... I can see a lot of new networks but, more importantly, I can see the network the city hall of my town offers to everybody here in Sant Cugat, Barcelona. It's for free if you're living in Sant Cugat. I am.
But my usb dongle + pigtail and 9db antenna : http://www.yagiwlan.de/images/ebay/omni_9_usb_set_maly.jpg is using zyd and, when I try to connect to the network, I get typically this: Jul 24 23:01:01 elachistos /bsd: zyd0 at uhub0 Jul 24 23:01:01 elachistos /bsd: zyd0: HMAC ZD1211B, FW 47.25, RF AL2230, PA 0, address 00:1a:ff:01:d8:76 Jul 24 23:05:18 elachistos /bsd: zyd0: frame too short (length=22) Jul 24 23:05:18 elachistos /bsd: zyd0: frame too short (length=22) Jul 24 23:05:18 elachistos /bsd: zyd0: frame too short (length=22) Jul 24 23:06:28 elachistos /bsd: zyd0: xfer too short (length=22) Jul 24 23:08:45 elachistos /bsd: zyd0: frame too short (length=22) Jul 24 23:09:00 elachistos /bsd: zyd0: xfer too short (length=22) Jul 24 23:10:26 elachistos /bsd: zyd0: xfer too short (length=22) Jul 24 23:11:17 elachistos /bsd: zyd0: xfer too short (length=8) Jul 24 23:15:48 elachistos /bsd: zyd0: could not send command (error=CANCELLED) Jul 24 23:15:48 elachistos /bsd: zyd0 detached Te antenna of the city hall is working fine and is strong enough. This must be related to the chipset driver... or is the transfer just too low? I don't think so because connecting to close networks (the one in my institute) doesn't work well, and it does work with iwi (the built-in card of the laptop). The guy who sold me the thingamabob ("WLAN SET Omni Antenna 9dBi RP-SMA with Minitar MWGUH - USB 54 Mbit) is willing to change it for another one which works for me (i.e. openbsd) Which one would you suggest?
