Wireless Interface Configuration

Home menu level: /interface pc
Description
CISCO/Aironet 2.4GHz card is an interface for wireless networks operating in IEEE 802.11b
standard. If the wireless interface card is not registered to an AP, the green status led is blinking
fast. If the wireless interface card is registered to an AP, the green status led is blinking slow. To set
the wireless interface for working with an access point (register to the AP), typically you should set
the following parameters:
• The service set identifier. It should match the ssid of the AP. Can be blank, if you want the
wireless interface card to register to an AP with any ssid. The ssid will be received from the
AP, if the AP is broadcasting its ssid.
• The data-rate of the card should match one of the supported data rates of the AP. Data rate
'auto' should work in most cases.
Loading the Driver for the Wireless Adapter
PCI and PC (PCMCIA) cards do not require a 'manual' driver loading, since they are recognized
automatically by the system and the driver is loaded at the system startup.
The ISA card requires the driver to be loaded by issuing the following command:
There can be several reasons for a failure to load the driver:
• The driver cannot be loaded because other device uses the requested IRQ.
Try to set different IRQ using the DIP switches.
• The requested I/O base address cannot be used on your motherboard
