Hi Rafiq,
I am new to the prism54 group but experienced with the PrismGT MAC. The MAC
does not set a WPA IE automagically in any of the management fields,
regardless of security key settings. The IE management is up to you to
format and set.
To set an attachment to the beacon do the following:
..Set the type field in obj_attachment to 0x80 to specify an 802.11 beacon
frame type.
..Set the id field to zero to satisfy the attachment is on all broadcast and
multicast frames. (Which of course beacons are)
..And then set your data and the size field as required by your IE content.
..Use DOT11_OID_ATTACHMENT to pin the attachment onto all further beacons.
The MAC does not know or care what you are attaching.
Can you tell me is there an open source supplicant for Prism54 clients to
handle the 802.1x/EAPOL key management needed for WPA?
Regards,
Mike

What I mean is that setting the device to use TKIP key, may also make it
send automagicaly what you want in the beacon (whithout any explicit
attachement).
...And justice for all
