We have AP-4000M v4.0.0(1257). I think we'd been advised to upgrade to fix other problems (dropping connections when people move around), though that may have been a config problem. I'm not the primary manager of the wireless network, and I forget the details. Some stuff cleared up when we went to central management so the configs are guaranteed all the same. I have had a ticket open with Proxim for months, but nothing useful yet. There was a suggestions to "disable unique SSIDs". I think that fixes my problem but makes life impossible for casual users as they have to enter an SSID blind. Not an option. Kalle said he'd looked at my packet captures but I haven't heard back recently. I suspect I'd only get this fixed by locking a Proxim engineer and a Nokia engineer in a room with the devices and not letting them out till it works. Unless it's some problem with the spec itself, in which case I'd need to add an IEEE guy. -- Andrew Daviel, TRIUMF, Canada Tel. +1 (604) 222-7376 (Pacific Time) Network Security Manager _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
