Hi, I seem to get a similar output from system.php: wi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet x.x.x.x netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast x.x.x.x ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect <hostap> (DS/2Mbps <hostap>) status: associated ssid xxx 1:xxx stationname xxx channel 1 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:64-bit wepkey 2:64-bit wepkey 3:64-bit wepkey 4:64-bit Since I currently have no way of testing the actual bandwidth of my wireless LAN, except from what the utility bundled with my PCI WNIC says (connection speed: 11Mbps), I too would like to know if the above indicates that the wireless card in my m0n0wall PC is actually running at only 2Mbps? (My 1Mbit/256Kbit ADSL seem to get through nicely, as does my printjobs to the LAN, but it is difficult to say what the actual, not to mention maximum, transfer rates really are?) Also, I see that authmode, webmode and keylength are all reported here. Is it really the case that while these things are reported, they still can't be changed? I'm just wondering, since most other things reported above appear to be configurable, while SSID broadcast mode isn't reported at all, which goes along with the fact that this apparantly can't currently be changed. I find it strange (although quite possible) that authmode and wepmode should be reported but not configurable? (Same goes for keylength, powersavemode and powersavesleep, not that I currently need any of these changed.) If anyone has any info about these things I (and Barry too, I'm sure) would like to hear about it. I'd also like to know what the "autoselect" indicates, and why there is a second "1:" entry for the SSID (can there be more than one?) Thanks, Adam. |
