ifconfig lladdr and Atheros driver
Changing mac address with "ifconfig ath0 lladdr" does not work on the ath driver. After that I changed the address I still can see that my OpenBSD client still tries with the original mac address in my AP. The ath driver works fine if I do not use the mac address filter in my AP. I've tried the openbsd snapshot from 2005-06-11. Regards /Jonas Would really appreciate if this could be fixed. My ISP has just upgraded to 54Mbit wlan but they require everyone to buy network cards from them. Which of course is an TI acx111 based card...
Re: ifconfig lladdr and Atheros driver
I'm living out in the country side in Sweden and my ISP is a local company in the nearby city. They are using mac address filtering on the AP. That's probably why they are demanding this. /Jonas Dunceor . wrote: >Just curios, what ISP in Sweden (I assume Sweden from your .se >mailaddy) offers 54mbit WLAN and demand you buy WLAN cards from them? > >Thanks. > >// Dunceor > >On 6/14/05, Jonas Fischer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >>Changing mac address with "ifconfig ath0 lladdr" does not work on the >>ath driver. >> >>After that I changed the address I still can see that my OpenBSD client >>still tries with the original mac address in my AP. >>The ath driver works fine if I do not use the mac address filter in my AP. >> >>I've tried the openbsd snapshot from 2005-06-11. >> >>Regards >>/Jonas >> >> >> >>Would really appreciate if this could be fixed.

3.7 latest and hidden ssid?
Hi. I'm have problems to connect to a AP with hidden ssid. As soon as I unhides the ssid my OpenBSD client can connect and when I hides the ssid on the AP again, my client drops the connection!? Why is that? I'm using OpenBSD snapshot (from 31/7) and a Ralink rt2500 pccard (Level One WPC-0301).
Re: 3.7 latest and hidden ssid?
I can't agree more with you. But my real problem is that I'm trying to get my OpenBSD NAT/Firewall to connect to my Wireless ISP with a 54Mbit Wlan card. The problem is that they are using hidden ssid, mac-address filtering, Dhcp and a login system based on a web page + DNS redirection. A have told them many times that there system is completely useless from a security stand point but they refuse to listen. :-( Because I live at the country side in Sweden I have no other broadband ISP to use. It's Wireless ISP or modem...
Re: Ralink - device timeout
I also have a Ralink adapter. But mine works perfectly. I'm getting good speed and it is reliable! What I can remember from when did my setup is that I had to specify 54Mbit to get optimal speed. This is my hostname.ral0: nwid media OFDM54 mode 11g dhcp And here is ifconfig: ral0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 lladdr 00:0a:41:xx:xx:xx groups: egress media: IEEE802.11 OFDM54 mode 11g (DS1 mode 11g) status: active ieee80211: nwid1 chan 13 bssid 00:13:1a:xx:xx:xx 100dBm inet6 fe80::20a:41ff:fe04:b1ad%ral0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 0xffe0 broadcast 255.255.255.255 > For about a month now I have been trying to get my Ralink PCI card > working under OpenBSD - I have had it working under FreeBSD, but could > not get my wireless mouse working there.

Wireless signal strength/quality on Ralink card?
How do I see the wireless signal strength/quality on a ral interface in OpenBSD 3.8? wicontrol and ancontrol does not support ral interface and Ifconfig does not show it. :-(
