I ♥ WiFi. SC-WiFi. Wireless Utilities. As already explained at wireless.overview the Linux IEEE 802.11 subsystem is fragmented.

Wireless Utilities

The available tools depend entirely on your driver . iwconfig is the configuration utility for the WEXT API . WEXT ist obsolete. iw is the configuration utility for the nl80211 API . Add a new virtual interface with the given configuration: iw dev <devname> interface add <name> type <type> [mesh_id <meshid>] [4addr on|off] [flags <flag>*] Valid interface types are: managed, ibss, monitor, mesh, wds. Iw phy <phyname> interface add <name> type <type> [flags <flag>*] Getting the currently set regulatory domain: iw reg get When in AP-mode, obtain a list of connected clients in STA-mode: iw dev wlan0 station dump Setting regulatory domain. Iw reg set XX The ath9k driver sets its own regulatory restrictions based on its EEPROM .

Question: Is there any way to get/set these raw settings (like, whatever it has in EEPROM)? Handle authenticating clients, set encryption keys, establishing key rotation policy, hostapd wpad. 802.11n. Go back –> IEEE-802.11 standards IEEE-802.11n was designed to allow transmissions of up to 100Mbps, thanks to this work, devices are theoretically capable of transmitting at rates of up to 600Mbps (PHY data rate).

802.11n

This section summarizes what 802.11n is for developers. 802.11n capable hardware can have more than one spatial stream. You can have multiple spatial streams all capable of transmitting and receiving concurrently. Each stream can use multiple RX or TX chains. The NxM nomenclature tells us about the number of TX/RX chains, and has nothing to do with streams. With 802.11n you can use a new set of rates designed specifically for high throughput (HT). Wireless LAN Security Best Practices. Abstract This document summarizes important facts about WLAN Security.

Wireless LAN Security Best Practices

It is not a WLAN tutorial. Note that some Cisco-related explanations or recommendations are provided as is, without any warranty - please consult www.cisco.com for more detailed information. The reader should already be familiar with WLAN fundamentals (see e. g. my WLAN lecture notes). If you find any mistakes please send me an E-Mail, thanks! Even relatively recent (german) studies show that more than 50% of all WLAN networks rely on WEP encryption, while approximately 17% are protected by WPA or WPA2. It is important to explain to decision makers that WEP encryption is not 'good enough'. 1.1 802.11 Standard Authentication The original 1997 version of the IEEE 802.11 standard mandates either open system or shared key authentication before sending any association request. Note: Troubleshooting Wireless LANs with Centralized Controllers.

The UCI System. The abbreviation UCI stands for Unified Configuration Interface and is intended to centralize the configuration of OpenWrt.

The UCI System

Configuration should be easy and straightforward, making life easier! UCI is all about that. It is the successor to the NVRAM-based configuration found in the White Russian series of OpenWrt. UCI can be seen as OpenWrt's main configuration user interface for the most important system settings. Typically, these are settings that are crucial for the functioning of the device, such as are typically found in the web interface of routers and embedded devices. In addition, selected third party programs have been made compatible with the UCI system, so these can be managed more easily as well. Most applications (save some that are made in-house) are made UCI compatible by the package maintainer by simply writing the original configuration file (which is read by the program) according to the chosen settings in the corresponding UCI file. Common Principles File Syntax Usage. Firewall and guest wlan problems? Hi, I'm using Backfire (10.03, r20728).

Firewall and guest wlan problems?

I am trying to set up two WLANs in parallel:a) one regular for accessing wan and lanb) one guest-wlan for accessing wan only Like described in: The funny thing is that it sometimes works and sometimes not. I thanks it has to do with my firewall config. Can soms one of you check my configuration? Uci export network. Cisco Wireless (Cisco_Wireless) on Scribd. Wireless Blog.
