==================================

It depends on what divers MeshAP is using.

There is madwifi and madwifi_ng (next generation) and the syntax is different.

Can't find it in the docs. Try iwconfig ath0 channel 1 - 11 (the a channels are silly numbers like 40 42 38 or similar.

also try mode # and see what they do. This had someting to do with the old drivers. iwconfig ath0 mode 2

a LONG time ago at the Glastonbury festival.

You can use:

iwpriv wlan0 mode X

where X is one of

1=802.11a 2=802.11b 3=802.11g

So you probably want:

iwpriv wlan0 mode 3

I'll add a setting to the management pages for this shortly.

It hooked in alright but gave a reading of 11Mbps which indicates to me its in 11b mode (the antennae are just a few feet apart with an aluminum foil shield between them and the signal is still full). How do I tell the MeshAP to run only 11g?

To set either a/b/g

iwpriv wlan0 mode 1 - To lock to 11a only. iwpriv wlan0 mode 2 - To lock to 11b only. iwpriv wlan0 mode 3 - To lock to 11g only. iwpriv wlan0 mode 0 - (default) autoselect mode.
