Are there any WiFi gurus reading this? I’ve been banging my head against a problem for a couple of weeks now to no avail. <\/p>\n
The short story is that my SMC 2632W V3<\/a> can see my WLAN perfectly; my Xircom CWE-1100<\/a>·<\/a> (Cisco 340 chipset) is connecting to a neighboring WLAN which (from the essid) appears to be quite far away. I’ve tried numerous network scanners (including kismet, airtraf, wavemon) and the local WLAN just doesn’t show up on the Xircom card. I have two of the Xircom cards, and they both behave identically. My local wireless access point is a USR8054<\/a> (actually a router, but set to run in access point only mode). I’m using the airo_cs Linux driver for the Xircom card, which seems to communicate fine with the device. <\/p>\n I’ve posted a more detailed description of my problem on debian-laptop<\/a>·<\/a>, as well as a request for help to linux-elitists<\/a>·<\/a> and a newsgroup posting on comp.networks<\/a> just for good measure. I also contacted tech support at Xircom (now Intel) and USR and have not received any helpful advice from them. <\/p>\n Please send tips or pointers to other resources! I’d like to get these cards working and have run out of ideas. See my debian-laptop posting<\/a>·<\/a> for a more complete run down of my problem. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Are there any WiFi gurus reading this?
