This file contains a log of unanswered questions raised during development
|
|
and testing. I just log them here for future reference since these questions
|
|
are usually generated while I'm working on something else and can't afford
|
|
to stop.

Conditions:

|
Conditions:
|
|
Aironet AP, "Configuration/Radio/I80211/Extend=on".
|
|
Extend means "proprietary extensions"
|
|
Observation:
|
|
Probe response frames were received with a properly formatted information
|
|
element using a reserved Element ID (namely 0x85). The data length
|
|
of the element was 28 bytes. Turning "Extend" off removed that item
|
|
from the probe responses. What is this item, what does it do? The
|
|
presence of this item is confusing the prism1 driver a little (non-fatal
|
|
error) and confusing wlandump alot. Requires a fix.

|
|
Conditions:
|
|
prism2 sta w/ txrates set to all (0x0f), all other settings at default.
|
|
Aironet AP set w/ 1_11 supported rates and 1_11 basic rates.
|
|
Observation:
|
|
Extremely poor tx/rx (particularly rx) and _lots_ of disassociations
|
|
initiated by the AP. Changed AP basic rates to 1_2 and the problem goes
|
|
away.
|
|
Guesses:
|
|
prism2 mac can't handle 5.5&11 as basic rates?
|
|
aironet was using short preamble?
