Subject: [OS2Wireless] XWLAN Binding Problem (Was: Problem with new XWLan 2.0 (Oh and BTW, GenMac 1.0 is out))

Jeroen, Mark,

thank you for your postings. For this problem I'll write to this list instead of the gmane lsit unless the problem is solved.

I tried replying to your post on the wlan forum but neither Pronews or web
interface seem to work for me.  Is there a TCP/IP page in your xWlan properties
notebook?  There is none here.
   

Sure. V2.00 does not have it any more. It is not longer necessary (as long as everything works well).


In 1.2 there was a page on which you could bind the wlan application
to a netx interface.
So far, so wrong. The property to specify the IP interface on that properties page did not bind any IP interface to your card. Instead only MPTS does so, and no other piece of software. XWLAN V1.2, unlike the new version, was not able to determine the IP interface bound to your WLAN device, so you had to specify it - according to the MPTS binding.

This is removed in 2.0. However, I think that the
problem is somewhere there...
Yes, obviously. I am very confident that XWLAN V2.00 well determines the correct IP interface correctly. The fact that TCP/IP is disabled, does not mean that XWLAN uses the wrong one. It just states that it cannot be configured (due to whatwever reason).

I'll try to remove my net1 (wired
ethernet) from mpts, to see whether that fixes it. I already tried to
swith places between the wired and wireless interface, but that didn't
resolve it. I hope to come back on this tonight (CET).
 

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the error. When I go back to V1.2 and forth again to V2.00, everything works fine.

To compare the properties between V1.2 and V2.0, launch an ini editor and check:

V1.2
Application: "Wireless LAN Monitor:Properties"
Keys: "IPInterface_<drivername>"  (e.g. "IPInterface_CWL350$")
Value: nummeric string from 0 to 7 specifying lan0 to lan7

V2.0:
Application: "Wireless LAN Monitor:Bindings"
Keys: "<drivername>" (e.g. "CWL350$")
Value: nummeric string from 0 to 7 specifying lan0 to lan7

Note that the V1.2 setting is not longer used with V2.0. If your system does not carry the V2.0 setting, please let me know - then the automated determination of the binding failed.

thanx, Christian
