I have had this problem before but thought I had resolved it. Several years
ago I was visiting a cousin and I could not get eCS to run more than a few
minutes before the system locked up, the only thing that would work is the
power off button. My cousin had his network secured with WPA. When I got home
I updated GENMAC and XWLAN, the next time I was at my cousin's everything
worked.
Again I am having the system lock up. Sometimes it will not even completely
boot but sometimes will run about 5 minutes before it locks up. Using windows
I can see several open SSIDs for the motel, two secured SSIDs, one WPA and the
other I assume is WEP. I would like to connect to an open SSID. When I try to
open the "Wireless LAN Monitor" I see a square where the window will open but
the system locks up before the window is painted. So I used "Adapters and
Protocols" to configure GENMAC out. I can now connect to the internet using
the wired NIC and a Linksys with DD-WRT (THANK YOU Lewis, this is not what I
bought this for but it works) to connect to the internet.
What I think would work is if I could open the "Wireless LAN Monitor" and
configure a profile to connect to the open SSID it would work. What I think is
happening is that it is trying to connect to anything and whatever it is trying
is not to its liking and hanging the system.
Is there a way to prevent the connection until I manually indicate what and
when to connect to?
GENMAC v2..2 and XWLAN v3.10 setup as a standalone program not a widget.
