QNX ad-hoc need a non QNX node present??!!!

Hello (#2)


I have 2 (or more) qnx PCs in ad-hoc wireless (orinoco). Both computers
are close (very good signal).
They can not communicate except if there is a least 1 non-QNX machine
present
(windows or IpaQ for instance) in the same network.

Suppose this sequence:

  1. turn on the QNX machines (that start the network managers, etc). All
    run ok, except that they can not communicate (no network detection).
  2. Start (or Enable the wireless) of a XP machine ==> QNX machines (and XP
    one) start to comunicate perfectly.
  3. now you can disable the windows XP wireless and the QNX units continue
    OK.
  4. but…turn off one of the 2 QNX PCs (or temporary disconnect the
    antena) and then turn it ON (or put the antenna).==> no more comunication.
    (you can see that the Orinoco card on both QNX machines are enabled but
    not detecting any network)
  5. …enable the XP (or Ipaq) and the QNX units detect the ad-hoc network
    and everything works fine…and so on.


    I previously posted a question how to use devctl() on the orinoco driver
    to experiment on it and try to solve the problem. well this is why, I hope
    I could do something with your help.

Do you have any idea about this?

thanks++

José:

I read your message, but I want to make a question about the Internet
connection with an Orinocco card and WI-Fi service: I have the 11mbps
Orinoco card and WiFi service of internet but I can´t find the way to
connect me to Internet with QNX 6.2.0, Do you know how I can do it?

Thanks.

If you download the network DDK from our web site, the documentation should
show you the devctls to use.

How are you starting the driver and what command line parameters are you
passing to the driver? The Orinoco driver has been tested in ad-hoc mode.
What version of QNX6 are you running?

Hi:

I have a customer with what sounds like the same problem. His io-net is
started this way:

io-net -d orinoco mode=adhoc,key1=0x3313233333,default_key=1,network=ALC1 -p
tcpip stacksize=64000 &

I will get version details and let you know.

Hi all:

The customer is using 6.2.1, he has resolved it by using the updated driver
from the QSSL website. Thanks for this, please keep this service going, it’s
excellent.

Thanks,
Andy
