WAP11 – Software/Firmware Upgrades

The firmware should be something like wap11fw.exe or wap11fw.zip.

WAP11 – Version 2.2 Problems

Posted to DSLR by moderater Krustyvt of betatesters.com:

2) Encryption in general is broken. Both these problems were immediately fixed when encryption was

toggled OFF - read subpoints below.

[UPDATE: BOTH issues below are fixed if you change the "Transmission Rates" option on the WAP11 to

"1-2 Mbps" instead of "1-2-5.5-11 Mbps". If you leave the Transmission Rates option at "1-2-5.5-11 Mbps"

but change your Orinoco Gold driver to the Spring 2001 release (Before they implemented the fragmented

packets encryption change, see other post) issue 2A is resolved but issue 2B is not.]

[UPDATE #2: Anyone having problems with encryption between the WAP11 and the Orinoco Gold card

should try this! The Orinoco Gold driver fragments encrypted packets (INCORRECTLY!) being

transmitted at 11 Mbps at 564 bytes. Edit the registry (Using DrTCP) and set the MTU for your wireless

card to 540. This will cause Windows to fragment the packet itself at 540 bytes, and it will never hit the

limit to be fragmented by the Orinoco driver. It took 8 hours of testing today, and this solution resolved

BOTH problems listed below! Orinoco has been notified of the problem with their driver ...]

2A) With encryption turned on, users are unable to login into any website that requires a username and

password. After submitting the login information, the connection simply sits there with no response from

the remote website.

2B) You are unable to spool any wireless print job with encryption enabled. Jobs will eventually error out

after a period of one or two minutes. No data is ever transmitted to the remote printer, and the remote

printer never acknowledges any kind of job.

3) MAC Address Authentication does not work, period. I removed a client's address from the table, and

then disabled and re-enabled the wireless connection. The connection established fine, and data was being

transmitted normally. [UPDATE: Fixed with new beta firmware 1.010!]

It is clear that there are definitely some issues between Linksys WAP11 2.2 AP's and Orinoco Gold client

adapter cards. The latest driver release from Orinoco seems to break some features, or at the very least,

change some things that Linksys will also need to modify in order for these products to work together.

WPC-11 Adapter – Install

I updated the drivers, but it still didn't work. (Yellow exclamation point by the card).

Turns out that the instructions in the manual are WRONG from some systems. My WPC11 in the desktop

is using the WDT11 adapter. For some systems, especially towers, the card needs to be put in upside down

in order to work (arrow down). I got this bit of news from the 3rd Linksys tech I called who said that the

next generation of wireless cards from Linksys will be built so that there is only one way to insert the card

into the system. I turned the card over, and haven't had any problems since.

The problem was caused because I tried to install the WDT11 PCI adapter card without the PCMCIA

WPC11 Card.
