have a look at this:
root@OpenWrt:~# iwpriv ath1 mode 11g
root@OpemWrt:~# iwpriv ath1 mode 11b
Interface doesn't accept private ioctl...
mode (8BE2): Invalid argument
my setup:
base-files-adm5120 - 12-r10522
kmod-madwifi - 2.6.24.2+r3314-adm5120-1
what gives??
Set the agmode option in /etc/config/wireless file.
that's the problem - at first I tried that and got nothing (iwconfig after it boots still shows 11g), that's why I tried with iwpriv and still nothing. :-/
After changing /etc/config/wireless reread the wireless config with the 'wifi' command or reboot the router.
yes yes, I know. as I said, "iwconfig after it boots still shows 11g"
any ideas guys?
also I've noticed that if I first create one ahdemo interface and then a VAP and a STA then I can do iwpriv athX mode 2
I need 11b for one broadcom STA some 500m away to be able to connect, if I'm on default mode (11g) it cannot connect at all (-72, strange??)
The discussion might have continued from here.
