I'm new to DSL and am having difficulty getting my Aironet 350 card to work. I've tried several configurations, but nothing works--I cannot connect to a wireless router, with or without encryption.
Here's some info on my card:
[/home/dsl]# cardctl ident
Socket 1:
product info: "3Com Corporation", "3CCFE575BT", "LAN Cardbus Card", "001"
manfid: 0x0101, 0x5157
function: 6 (network)
[/home/dsl]# cardctl config
Socket 0:
Vcc 5.0V Vpp1 5.0V Vpp2 5.0V
interface type is "memory and I/O"
irq 3 [exclusive] [level]
function 0:
config base 0x03e0
option 0x45 status 0x00 pin 0x00
io 0x0100-0x013f [16bit]
[/home/dsl]# cardctl status
Socket 0:
5V 16-bit PC Card
function 0: [ready]
[/home/dsl]# cardctl info
PRODID_1="Cisco Systems"
PRODID_2="350 Series Wireless LAN Adapter"
PRODID_3=""
PRODID_4=""
cdMANFID=015f,000a
FUNCID=6
PRODID_1="3Com Corporation"
PRODID_2="3CCFE575BT"
PRODID_3="LAN Cardbus Card"
PRODID_4="001"
MANFID=0101,5157
FUNCID=6
Here's the configuration command I've been using (key x'd out):
[/home/dsl]# iwconfig wifi0 mode managed essid runway channel 10 key xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Here's the result--no connection to essid "runway"! ?
[/home/dsl]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

The pump command results in a failure:
/home/dsl]# pump -i wifi0
Operation failed.
[/home/dsl]#
One thing I noticed in using iwlist--see below.
[/home/dsl]# iwlist wifi0 power
wifi0 Supported modes :
o Receive all packets (unicast & multicast)
o Receive Unicast only (discard multicast)
o Receive Multicast only (discard unicast)
Fixed period ; min period:0us
max period:5s
Fixed timeout ; min timeout:0us
max timeout:67.1078s
Current mode:off
Looks like the receiver mode is off. How do I turn it on?
Maybe this is my problem with this card.
Would appreciate some help with this.
