[Prism54-devel] Handle Association in MLME mode EXTENDED

[anjan]

Hi,
   Is the firmware capable of handling association in MLME_MODE_EXTENDED 
correctly. I found that when I run the card in AP mode with mlme level 
set to EXTENDED, wireless clients like Buffalo(WLI-CB-G54A), Linksys 
Wireless-G Notebook Adapter, and Intersil 802.11 b/g 54Mbps could not 
associate to my AP with their respective client utilities. However, 
using Wireless Zero configuration from WinXP, the client cards are able 
to associate to my AP, but the time taken to associate is longer than in 
mlme mode AUTO. I feel, the association state machine of the client 
cards are getting out of sync with that of the AP association state 
machine. Please correct me if I am wrong.
  I need to run the card in mlme level EXTENDED and handle association 
in the level similar to mlme auto level. Also WPA requires the card be 
run in EXTENDED mode, for in AUTO mode the RSNIE attachment will not 
show up in BEACON/PROBE RESPONSE frames.

Anjan
