1. WLAN Basic Test Driver Installation COMPONENTS bcmwI5/ bcmwI564.sys and bcmwI5.inf bcmwI5/ bcmwI564.sys and bcmwI5.inf are the dongle host driver for PCI Bridge Card. It also includes a dongle image for download to the PCI dongle. wl.exe wl is an utility application that one can use to control the software running in the PCI dongle, e.g. initiate an association and modify WLAN parameters.
• SSID: “ADHOC#1” • Mode: Ad Hoc RSSI: -41 dBm noise: -105 dBm Channel: 1 • BSSID: B2:51:28:6B:3C:A1 Capability: IBSS • Supported Rates: [ 1(b) 2(b) 5.5(b) 11(b) ] CONNECTING TO AN INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK WITH NO SECURITY (AP CONNECTION) To connect to the network through an AP with SSID = Eval4325 Run wl join Eval4325. CONNECTING TO AN INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK WITH WEP SECURITY To connect to the network that uses 12345 as the network key • Run wl join Eval4325 key 12345.
To enable legacy IEEE 802.11 Power Save (PS) mode • Run wl PM 1. To enable Fast IEEE 802.11 Power Save mode • Run wl PM 2. Note: • The STA automatically transitions to Legacy PS mode when no data is being sent or received. • The STA automatically disables PS mode when data is being sent or received. MEASURING WLAN THROUGHPUT The throughput measurement shows the performance of the TCP/IP layer over the wireless link.
