Kernel is 2.4.20-pre11.
I seem to be unable to set MAC address on a D-Link DWL-520 (a PCI wireless NIC). I am using 2.4.20-pre11 and orinoco_pci as a module.
It seems to work and I can see my frames with correct MAC address with tcpdump. The problem is, other hosts do not like me anymore :( I see zero incoming packets. This happens even if I set MAC addr before bringing iface up. I.e. no host can possibly cache stale ARP data...
I suspect either orinoco driver does not set MAC addr properly or firmware has a bug. BTW, firmware version is 1.4.9.
I'd be grateful if someone with any wireless card will do a quick check with their hardware/firmware/driver combo and tell me the results. -- vda - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
