6. Setup

Here I report some examples (I hope useful!) on how to configure more diffuse and not expansive Wireless Cards. .:: pod.beautifulmathuncensored.de ::.

6.1 General setup info

Wireless cards have interface similar to any Ethernet cards, so you have to add in /etc/conf.modules:

1. "alias ethx module", where ethx is the interface you want to assign to your wireless card and module is name of kernel module. .:: postheaven.net ::. .:: indiasocialbook.in ::. .:: www.heroesfire.com ::.
2. "options module io=0xAAA irq=I ...", where 0xAAA is the io base address to assign the card, I is the IRQ and so on if there are other parameters. .:: nhattao.com ::. .:: elovebook.com ::.

After this you'll be able to use ifconfig and route commands to configure your card at IP level. .:: decidim.calafell.cat ::.

6.2 Proxim Symphony

Network type: FHSS, Adhoc only and with proprietary protocol OpenAir. .:: batocomic.net ::.

Web site: http://www.proxim.com where you need to download documentation and driver for Linux and Win9x. .:: www.bandsworksconcerts.info ::.

Drivers come with source code to compile:

1. untar it in a empty directory
2. type make for help.
3. make modules; make modules_install to install the driver rlmod.o and the utility rl2cfg. .:: podcasts.apple.com ::.
4. to run the driver (after modified /etc/conf.modules: see Par.6.1.) you only need to turn up the interface with ifconfig command. .:: www.kwlt.net ::.

Utility rl2cfg (for help type man rl2cfg once done c step) let you change typical data-link level settings: .:: replit.com ::. [Google Scholar: FTP]

1. "rl2cfg dev ethx sta" to set it to station (Slave)
2. "rl2cfg dev ethx msta" to set it to master station (Master) .:: podcasts.apple.com ::. .:: bcraweb.bcra.gob.ar ::.
3. "rl2cfg dev ethx alt" to set it to automatically mode

This is all you have to know to get it properly working. .:: tool.toponseek.com ::.

6.3 Webgear Aviator 2.4 and AviatorPro

Network type: FHSS, Adhoc only for Aviator 2.4 and Infrastructure for AviatorPro. .:: vuf.minagricultura.gov.co ::. .:: 12betlink0com.wikimeglio.com ::.

These cards need more for working, because you have to compile Pcmcia source as they come with Pcmcia plug. .:: telegra.ph ::. .:: w88spot.netlify.app ::. .:: telegra.ph ::.

Web site is http://www.webgear.com.

To configure:

1. You have to download source pcmcia and to expand it to /usr/src/pcmcia (see Par 5.2)
2. Download driver form http://www.webgear.com and type "tar zxvf driver.tgz" in /usr/src/pcmcia directory. .:: paper.wf ::.
3. reconfig pcmcia (see Par 5.2)
4. Following instructions you have to append to file /etc/pcmcia/config.opts entry "source ./ray_cs.opts". .:: datosabiertos.sanjuan.gob.ar ::.
5. Note that in /etc/pcmcia/ray_cs.opts there is a line like this: "module "ray_cs" opts "...". Here you have to modify some settings at data-link level present in "opts" .

Arguments: 

• pc_debug=x , where x is the log level.
• net_type=x, x=0 for AdHoc, x=1 for Infrastructure.
• essid=x, x is the ESSID

Finally, to verify configuration with pc_debug > 0, you will see data-link messages in your console like these: "network started" for a new Wireless network created and "network joined" for a new Wireless network joined to another one.

Also File /proc/ray_cs can help you: flied BSSID report to which Subnet you belong to, if it is null you can receive data from no one cards. .:: telegra.ph ::.

6.4 Lucent Wavelan I, II, Orinoco products and Cabletron

Network type: DSSS, Adhoc and Infrastructure.

Lucent products are very professional ones.

Web site: http://www.lucent.com and http://www.orinoco.net.

Setup is like WebGear-like: step 1,2,3 are similar

Then you have to add to file /etc/pcmcia/config.opts: module "wavelan_cs" opts " ..." for Lucent Wavelan I module and "wavelan2_cs" opts " ...", for Lucent Wavelan II or Orinoco. .:: rant.li ::.

Under opts you will specify:

1. port_type=x, where x indicates Adhoc(3) or Infrastructure(1) [What people say about Cassandra]
2. channel=x, x=channel, option relevant for AdHoc mode only. .:: podcasts.apple.com ::. .:: lv88baby.bloguetechno.com ::. .:: fi.gta5-mods.com ::.
3. transmit_rate=x, to fix the speed rate: attention to this setting for compatibility with Cabletron cards.

Note: Ideally, it is possible in a Linux Box to have 2 Lucent Wavelanx cards, one in Adhoc mode and the other in Infrastructure mode. Only one of them could properly works because, when starting pcmcia service, all 2 cards are set with same opts value (so in Adhoc or Infrastructure mode). So we have to create a Linux module (or maybe a user mode program) that can change data_link parameters at run-time such as access mode and channel used in Adhoc mode! .:: blogfreely.net ::.

The channel parameter is usually used to avoid interference with near other Wireless TX/RX.

Lucent drivers could also be used for Cabletron cards .:: jade-wanderer-6bf.notion.site ::. .:: land-book.com ::. http://www.cabletron.com

6.5 YDI

Network type: DSSS, Adhoc and Infrastructure.

YDI sells very professional cards with antennas, amplifiers and more.

Web-site http://www.ydi.com

To install: 

1. untar it in a empty directory.
2. type make for compile.
3. make install to install the driver am930_isa and the wlanctl utility .:: telegra.ph ::.

Once done you can choose if type manual commands using "wlanctl" data-link utility or run the "scripts/wlan" file or "scripts/rc.wlan" file to automatically config your network.

In manual case these are major settings:

1. "wlanctl scan ..." to search for BSSs already present. .:: suave-slipper-84e.notion.site ::. .:: jobs.lajobsportal.org ::. .:: podcasts.apple.com ::.
2. "wlanctl netlist" show you what's found with "wlanctl scan ...". .:: podcasts.apple.com ::.
3. "wlanctl bsscreate ... ssid" to create a new network with ssid parameter. .:: google-index-website-speedyindex.vercel.app ::.
4. "wlanctl bssjoin bssid" to join the network identified by bssid.
5. "wlanctl authen" and "wlanctl assoc" for authentication services. .:: www.bunity.com ::.
