[CUWiN-Dev] CUWin at 5 GHz

[jbrink at sympatico.ca]

I'm wondering if anyone has a pair of nodes running at 5 GHz.  I've 
hacked around the configuration files (specifically cuw_config for the 
channel and ifconfig.wireless.tmpl).

I've set the channel in the cuw_config in to a valid 802.11a channel, 
and changed the line "media auto mediaopt adhoc mode 11b" to "media auto 
mediaopt adhoc mode 11a".  I made the changes on /permanent/etc by 
temporarily making the cf r/w, and rebooted the node.

When the nodes reboot they come up clean and the interfaces start up.

ifconfig -a

I can see the nodes at 5 GHz on channel 60 with the survey tool, but the 
   "non-gateway" node cannot resolve (when the nodes are configured with 
the normal 2.4 GHz config they work great).

Is there something else I need to look at ?

Thanks in advance
