Hi,
I'm having problems with 05-16 version of hostap_cs. The previous
version (05-02) works well. First system specs:
Dual 450 Celeron, 512MB RAM, Antec PCI->PCMCIA bridge
Kernel 2.4.18 with XFS, freeswan, and sensors patches
Redhat 7.1
pcmcia-cs 3.1.33
Proxim RangeLAN-DS PC Card on the server
Encryption is not enabled
Power saving is not enabled
MAC address control is not enabled
Client is a P2-233 Windows 2000 Notebook with an SMC 2632W card
Everything worked fine before I installed 05-16. With 05-16, pings go
through without a problem (including a flood ping - 0% packet loss for
~100,000 packets). TCP connections also open, but no data transfer can
happen. For example, an nmap scan of the client from the server works,
but connectiong from the client to the server's web server does not
work. The server is also doing NAT, no connections happen there either.
DNS also does not work. SMB connection from the server to the client
sometimes even gets to the password stage (after several seconds, much
slower than accessing a wired client), but always fails in the end. All
of these services do work with a wired client of the server. Association
happens without a problem, DHCP works, but everything after that does
not work. Any idea what the problem is?
Thanks,
David Levitan
