ORBIT-USER: Where can I find documentation about mobility emulation through spatial switching?

[Kishore Ramachandran]

Hi Arinto:

The madwifi driver in the click image is not the regular madwifi driver. Its
one thats been integrated with click (called 'madwifi-stripped'). The way
this works is that you have to install a click script to work with the
driver - iwconfig can be used for display purposes but not for control (for
e.g., iwconfig ath0 channel 36 will not have any effect). You can read more
about this driver at: http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/~jbicket/madwifi.stripped/

Also, the correct driver directory is
/root/Mobility/atheros/madwifi-clickit-org-10-15-2004

I do not think you can apply the patch directly and will have to work
directly with the source code.

Hope this helps,
Kishore
