You haven’t specified an SSID on the command line, that is why you cannot
connect to your access point.

This probably where the problem lies, I cannot set the ssid, no matter
what I do. I can get an ad-hoc communication going, with the ssid on the
other computer set to “non-spec”, but this link is unreliable in the
vicinty of other wireless networks.
Is there a feature on QNX that scans for available wireless networks as
can be done on Windows and Linux computers?
Francois
The SSID in nicinfo only gets updated once the device associates with an
access point. Until then it will display “non-spec”. Have you tried setting
your access point to a different channel? The driver doesn’t scan the
channels, this is done by the firmware on the wireless card.

If I do not specify a channel number, I notice from nicinfo that the
channel number changes anyway as (I assume) the card scans the channels.
If I specify a channel number, it also ignores my number.
Is the perhaps a signal strength indication available? Perhaps I have an
antenna problem.
Let me first verify the total hardware setup by loading Windows and
check out the results.
Francois
Problem resolved, a silly one! The access point does MAC filtering. I
just had to supply the MAC address of the card.
