Hi,

I now can get everything to work perfectly in Ad-Hoc mode, but I do have one problem in infrastructure mode with a Windows 2000 client (I am running Netgear MA301 in both ends).

I try to run without a shared secret, but just plain anonymous, and I get the following error in syslog:

May 23 17:22:20 home kernel: wlan0: authentication: 00:30:ab:17:0a:6c len=6, auth_alg=0, auth_transaction=1, status_code=0, fc=0x08b0

I can't seem to authenticate in any way.

How am I supposed to do that ?
