Subject says most of it. Thanks to Lewis and Aron, I should have a new
(to me) 350 in my mailbox tomorrow.
Question is what do I need in the way of a driver for the 350? What I'm
running now with the 340 is ciscopcm.os2 - 32272 bytes with a 2003 date.
XWLAN says CWL350$ v 0.91
Ideally I'd like a driver that works with both in case I have to fall back
to the 340, but I can live with a config.sys edit and a reboot in that
case.
Also, XWLAN is at 2.12. I've not upgraded since I have the impression
that the later releases are more to do with making genmac work than
anything else, but if I'm wrong, I can easily update.
That will work as they both use the same driver. I have a version of the same driver that is a couple days newer. Its been 3 years so I don't remember the differences but I was testing the driver for the developer before he disappeared. I think it has more logging messages to lantran.log. readme.txt says the following:
"Cisco Aironet 340/350 Series NDIS 2.01 PCCard driver, Rev. 0.91.A502
This release does an additional check for A502 hardware. This chip has a
hardware bug which must be worked around with the help of the firmware.
Unfortunally (or fortunally) I don't have such a card, so I'm looking for
someone who has. The check has no other side effects except for a Message
in LANTRAN.LOG.
Known Bugs and Limitations:
1. APM Suspend/Resume: It works, but only the radio will be disabled. The
card is still active - this will be fixed in the next release.
2. WifiStat: Everything except encryption configuration is now implemented.
3. Encryption: This does not work yet.
4. LEAP: This does not work yet.
All other things should work :)"
Unfortunately to my knowledge there was never another release after this one. Anyone ever find out what happened to Jens?
