Hi, I have a system I'd to use as a router and fileserver, and want to use a Cisco aironet 340 pci card as a wireless access point.
The card works fine as a client (although under linux and bsd it reports errors constantly), but fails to work in Master or access point mode.
I've seen many messages, after much reading on the net, that state this is because the firmware version installed on the card is incompatible with the aironet drivers used by *BSD and Linux ( not the same driver, but the drivers use the same api, which has changed...)
What I haven't been able to locate is two things;
- an answer to the question "What is the right firmware version for enabling access point mode on an aironet 340 card under Linux/*BSD?"
- Access to the correct firmware version, or to the series of available firmware to discover the answer via trial and error.
I tried Cisco directly, and they told me the best they could do was to RMA the card for something newer, rather than give me access to available firmware for the card due to recent policy change.
Can anyone help? I have a gmail invite for info that helps me get this card working properly. The card is actually an AIR-PCM 342 in a PCI adapter.
Thanks in advance,
-Vince
