Hi,
If I understood correctly, I "need" to run kernel 2.6 in order to have 802.1X support (as a client) in wpa supplicant.
This means that I am basically running with the svn trunk in order to have wireless driver support.

My questions are:
1. Is it possible to control the wireless parameters with the 2.6 driver (rx antenna, tx antenna and diversity) - if yes, how???
2. Does diversity work at all with this unit? (with 2.6 kernel or with the "original drivers" in the 2.4 kernel)
3. Is it possible to run wpa_supplicant with 802.1X support in kernel 2.4?

Thanks in advance!

Alfred (alf).

Anyone???
I can RTFM, no problem, just tell me where can I obtain this information.
Thanks in advance!

Probably no one has written the FM, so you'll need to experiment a little yourself

I remember that it was possible in a previous version of mac80211, but I believe it was removed in newer versions. The driver will enable automatic diversity by itself. There are some defines in the driver that can be changed you want to force a desired antenna, not sure if it works.

The 4306 units I've tested seems to work correctly with or without an external antenna attached, so I guess that automatic diversity in 2.6 works. I remember playing with the antenna selection in White Russian, so it probably worked in 2.4 (I'm not completely sure about this... it was easier to just solder out the diversity chip )

Looking at http://oldwiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs( … ation.html I can't find anything about WPA (non-PSK) client configuration. Also keep in mind that the original 2.4 driver was somewhat unstable in client configurations.

Thank you very much for your reply!
