I know my hacks is very very 'ad-hoc', and I don't know why
the modification is required as in my previous mail.
In my previous mail, I did not describe my test environment,
and describe below.
In my company, we are using Melco(BUFFALO) WLI-PCM-L11G PCMCIA
card with 104bit WEP encryption, BSS mode.
The card is indicated,
} Tuple #5, code = 0x20 (Manufacturer ID), length = 4
} 000: 56 01 02 00
} PCMCIA ID = 0x156, OEM ID = 0x2
as result of command 'pccardc dumpcis'.
It works fine. There is no problem.
Without my hacks, my new notebook 'IBM ThinkPad X23',
that have Prism2.5(PCI vendor=0x1260, dev=0x3873) on board,
can't communicate with others.
After applying my hacks, I checked it can communicate in
following condition.
[1] BSS mode with 104bit WEP encryption.
The other side of communication is all Melco's PCMCIA
card in my company.
[2] ad-hoc mode without WEP encryption.
The other side of communication is my another notebook
using Melco's PCMCIA card.
[3] ad-hoc mode with 40bit WEP encryption.
The other side of communication is my another notebook
using Melco's PCMCIA card.
[4] ad-hoc mode with 104bit WEP encryption.
The other side of communication is my another notebook
using Melco's PCMCIA card.
(*)The only case I checked in BSS mode, is using 104bit WEP
encryption. Because I can't change the settings of station.
(It is not technical reason)
That's all.
TIA.
