Hello,
when trying to connect my Intrepid Ibex (living on a notebook) to a wlan router (notebook with Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100, router Airport Express) I have got problems. Basically wireless networking seems to work: iwlist gives me a bunch of networks, but not mine.
After searching around I found out the router has itself (automatic) set to channel 13. But this channel is not supported by my machine:
I have learned that this can be caused by a region setting (I am located in Germany) and it should be possibly to change the region using iwpriv. However iwpriv doesn't accept my input:
Do you agree that the channels are the reason for the trouble? If this is correct, how it is possible to change the channel settings. Are my iwpriv parameters correct?
besides this I am lovin' it :-)
