Cisco Aironet 350 PCMCIA Card (ext. ant.) & ACU Troubles

The problem is, if the card is inserted in the slot and the acu software v.6.6 (or older) is installed, the card is via the ACU software not able to associate to a cisco accesspoint.
How can I solve this problem?
I 've tried several ways with win 2000, win xp with and without centrino chipset. It is always the same.
At an older CB21 card with the ADU software on the same hardware are no problems

First thing is to simplify your challenge. Do you have an antenna attached? Are you using the MMCX adapter connection for the antenna, Adapter cables for Orinoco cards are different and won't work.
Can you configure the 350 card via ACU? if so, does its encyrption settings/security match the AP. Can you connect to any other APs via the 350 card? Go to a WiFi hotspot and test your system and card there to see if you can attach to a Linksys or other off-brand AP?
Make sure you know the wireless security settings on the AP and match them on your wireless adapter cards. Can you connect with the access point wirelessly with any other wireless cards? If yes, can you connect the 350 to the AP using the Win XP wireless settings and not the ACU? One tip is to make sure the security settings on both card and AP are turned off, make the connection, then tighten security and encyrption back down.
Good Luck

  • Using Aironet 350 PCMCIA wifi card

    i am trying to set up Aironet 350 PCMCIA card running on my laptop. from what i have seen people have been using airo_cs module with this card but when i do:
    modprobe airo_cs
    dmesg shows:
    airo(): Probing for PCI adapters
    airo(): Finished probing for PCI adapters
    so maybe this is not the correct driver for PCMCIA card. the only thing that dmesg shows when inserting the card is:
    pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
    but pccardctl info and ident show no info.
    any ideas are appreciated

    thanks for the response. lscpi does not show any information on the card either.

  • Aironet 350 PCMCIA WiFi CARD

    I'm having a problem with a Cisco Aironet 350 WiFi PCMCIA Card (speed has to be auto) installed in a Sony Camera and intermittently not connecting to a ZyXEL ZyAIR G-110 WiFi PCMCIA Card (speed set to b only (which is 11 MBPS))which is installed in a Dell Laptop. On startup (laptop first then camera) it sometimes connects and sometimes doesn't. The ZyAir card is always fully initialized first then the Aironet is initialized.
    What I also noticed that was strange is that if you toggle (fn + F2) the Centrino WiFi NIC (built into the laptop) on and then off the Aironet suddenly establishes connectivity.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    If you use a non cisco card you can NOT use any Cisco enhancements to the standards including LEAP or 128 WEP. 40 Bit WEP will work fine as long as your card supports it.

  • Configuring wireless card Cisco Aironet 350 PCI

    I'm not a newbie in linux but now faced with a trouble. I could not manage to set up the card properly. I just installed Arch 0.8 and it's not quite clear to me how to do this with Arch. I've read all available Arch's docs on this topic.
    So my situation's the following:
    I have the wireless card Cisco Aironet 350 PCI and I've been using it with Slackware for a year. It works quite fine. But now, when I decided to move to Arch - I cannot set it up. My card's using `airo` module and it is loading well. All the present network devices are recognized. I can see this by ifconfig -a.
    I have 2 NICs in my system:
    1) simple Ethernet card - eth0. Is switched off in rc.conf
    2) wireless. There are 2 different devices for it in my system: eth1 and wifi0 (and it's correct). I don't know why is it so and how about this with other wireless cards.
    For example I placed here network configs from my Slackware which works well with them and expect your advice on how to do the same with Arch.
    /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf:
    ##IPADDR[0]="" #wired NIC is off
    ##NETMASK[0]=""
    ##USE_DHCP[0]="yes"
    ##DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""
    # Config information for eth1:
    IPADDR[1]="xx.xx.225.8"
    NETMASK[1]="255.255.255.0"
    USE_DHCP[1]=""
    DHCP_HOSTNAME[1]=""
    # Default gateway IP address:
    GATEWAY="xx.xx.225.254"
    /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless.conf:
    # Cisco/Aironet 4800/3x0

    Who is aware - please describe or give me a link on this, how the two devises eth1 and wifi0 are connected to each other and how to set them up in Arch.
    Thnx.

    Excellent! It works! Thank U very much.
    My conclusion - /etc/network-profiles/ is much more suitable way/place to set your wireless network parameters even it's quite steady.
    And now I have a couple of extra questions:
    1) What should I do with actual network parameters in rc.conf? Currently they looks like:
    lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
    #eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
    INTERFACES=(lo !eth0)
    gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
    ROUTES=(!gateway)
    NET_PROFILES=(tier)
    and that looks and works OK. What about gateway? Should I comment it here or not?
    2)Though everything works fine now, I can see that wifi0 device is not listed by ifconfig now (only by iwconfig), but in my Slackware system it is. Don't have I to mention my wifi0 device in network profile's section:
    #WIFI_INTERFACE=wlan0   # use this if you have a special wireless interface
                            # that is linked to the real $INTERFACE
    Thnx!
    And sorry for ugly English

  • Windows 98 and Aironet 350 PCI Card

    I have a complicated question and would really appreciate any input anyone has. I have a network with 12 PC's that are running Windows 98 with Novell Netware. They all have Aironet 350 PCI cards in them. We recently decided to change an older PC out and took out it's Aironet card to install in the new PC which is a Dimension 4400. I install the card and the utilities and drivers and I can get the PC associated to the AP. I then install the Novell client and I can't get authenticated onto the network. I can't even get the Novell login to pop up. I can't even get out onto the internet which I can usually do even if I am not on the network. Neither my network admin nor I were here when these were originally deployed so maybe we are missing a step. Any help would be much appreciated. I would be glad to provide any additional info!
    Thanks
    Jamie

    Thanks for the further info John. I would usually say sure and do it. I am only leary because a week ago this card was happily working in another machine. A interesting point to mention is that when I go into the access point all of my machines on the AP having their IP address in a field called IP Addr./Name and the machine I am having an issue with says unassigned. The last time we had this particular issue we had the network on 40 bit WEP encryption and then got a new card for a machine that could only run 128 bit so we changed the encryption and everything has been fine since. Once again thanks for all of your help!

  • [solved] Cisco Aironet 350 package

    Hi guys,
    Is there a package for the Cisco Aironet 350 anywhere? I have to set up a thinkpad x31 that has one, but I can't find any package for the driver, neither in the normal repo, nor in the AUR. Maybe it's too early in the morning ;-)

    omg I shouldn't wake up, go to the PC, turn it on, read some stuff and don't check the wireless drivers that ship with the kernel.
    It's already there...

  • Sniffer for CISCO 350 PCMCIA card

    Heloo,
    I need some sniffer for this card. I can't test that traffic is encrypted. I need show the encryption to customer that is realy working good.
    Do you know anyone about some sniffer fo WIN??
    Thank you

    Don't know what to tell you, it's working great for us on both 2k and xp. You might want to get in touch with wildpackets support. We had no trouble with either of the above at anytime. We've had it about 6 months. We've been successful on a Dell Latitude, and 600e, T23 and T30 IBM's. Normal LEAP and wireless connectivity work after the wildpackets drivers are installed too so we're way happy replacing the way overpriced NA sniffer and support.

  • Mac software for Cisco Aironet 340

    I have a Cisco Aironet 340 PCMCIA card that I want to use with an old PowerBook. But I can't find the download for the Mac software for this card. This page tells me to go to "http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/aironet-utils-mac." but it just redirects me to the normal software download page. Where can I download the Mac sofrware for this card?

    It was never supported on a mac and this is end of life and end of support... your not going to find one especially on Cisco's site.  Maybe search online and someone might have it on a file share.
    Thanks,

  • Aironet 350 with pismo antenna?

    Hi people. I recently bought a cisco aironet 350 pccard wireless adapter for my pbg3 500. It works, i use os x 10.3.5. The problem is it doesnt reach very far. Last week a friend of mine came with his macbook and he had full signal at places where I could not even connect.
    Doing some research I found that removing the fat sticker placed on the part of the card that remains outside the powerbook, there are 2 antennas and a jack for an external one. So I tought I could use the one built-in the display that is meant for airport cards. The problem is they can not be conected directly (the cable doesnt reach and the conectors are different anyway. To make thinks worse, the powerbook cable doesnt even have the conector, just the wire. I tried making a bridge between this cable and the cisco jack (using a 15 cm cable) but doesnt improve the signal, so I think im doing something wrong, or the pismo antenna is no better than whats built into the cisco card. Maybe someone here has some experience on using a non airport card with the airport antenna.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Pepo

    Thanks Brent. I have a spare ibook display that I can use for testing the antena. Problem is I dont want to burn the pccard amplifier. I dont know how the antena works, or if there is already an amplifier in the display, so if I connect the output of the card to the airport antena, I may burn the card. If I touch the antena lead it has power, as well as the pc card, so I dont think they can be connected toghether.
    Also another doubt I have is actually how the antenna works. If I check the jack with a tester, I can see that the shield and the conductor of the wire arent isolated from each other, so then how do you wire them to the card when they are bridged already?
    Sorry, hope I explain myself a bit at least, my english is not good enough I think for this kind of things.
    Thanks again.

  • Aironet 350 client adapters

    I have some Aironet 350 PCI cards fitted to some Compaq P4 desktop computers running WinXP Pro. These computers are part of a Domain and log in automatically using a few registry changes. This is the problem.
    When the machines log in the Wireless adapters have not finished their authentication and have not received a new IP address, but the machine still logs in. I need to make the machine wait for the Aironet card to finish it's authentication or start the authentication process earlier. Has anyone got any ideas.
    Many thanks for your time.
    Mike

    I have tested this with APs config'd with Network-EAP and Open-Require EAP. In this scenario Max Assoc does not prevent attempted associations by non-LEAP-enabled clients, which are locally authenticated (associated but unauthenticated) and claim one of the allocated associations. This can effectively block legitimate client associations/authentications. I think that local MAC filtering is the only override, and/or disabling Open authentication (forcing LEAP). Using the ACS, you can create or map External DB Users to ACS Groups and limit their access to certain NAS (AP) entries.

  • Aironet 350 w/ Linksys WAP11

    I'm trying to add an Aironet 350 PC card to an existing Linksys WLAN. I've configured the WLAN for WEP-disabled, open access. I've set all the parameters on the 350 to match a working Linksys card. I've disabled MAC control on the Linksys Access Point.
    The Aironet Client Utility reports that the card is "not associated". When I bring up statistics, I see lots of PLCP CRC errors.
    Any pointers?

    No 2.4Ghz equipment in the house (except possibly the microwave, which is not running). The linksys is using both antennas. I'm not dead certian what 'diversity' means, but it sends/receives on each. Also, when I'm communicating with a LinkSys PC Card, I'm getting 100% signal strength and 100% signal quality, so the problem would not seem to be electronic noise.
    The retailer's support staff has suggested that I ensure that the WAP is using the same protocol! (Um... I think that's what WiFi/802.11b means.)
    I've tried setting up the Aironet card and the LinkSys card on a different laptop. Same results. When the Linksys card is in, it talks to the WAP, but the Aironet says it is not associated, and shows lots of CRC errors.
    Any other ideas, or should I just throw in the towell and send it back?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Cisco PCMCIA card & TI PCI adapter

    Hi,
    I have to install a Cisco PCMCIA 350 card (AIR-PCM352) on a desktop PC running Windows XP Pro sp2.
    To do that I use a PCI adapter with Texas Instruments PCI 1410 chipset but it doesn't work because the system recognize the card as MTD-002.
    Is there anyone who has the same problem or has resolved that?
    Is there anyone who can write me a PCI adapter that can work with the Cisco PCMCIA card?
    Thanks in advance

  • X120e - Will a USB-connected Cardbus Cisco Aironet card go around whitelist restrictions?

    I have a x120e that I'm trying to get with Cisco LEAP security.  The Cisco Aironet  (AIR-CB21AG-A-K9) cardbuss card will connect to LEAP but I'm wondering if connecting this cardbus card to the x120e via a Cardbus to USB adapter will allow me to connect this WiFi card to the x120e.  I have run up against the whitelist restrictions when I tried to replace the half mini PCI card with an Intel WiFi card.  I haven't quite worked up the courage to flash the BIOS with a new adapter name.    DaveM

    Hello,
    I have not heard of anyone using that particular solution.  Perhaps you could test it and let us know the results.
    Have you looked for an external USB Wi-Fi adapter that supports Cisco LEAP protocol?  I would think that would be easier to use, though, not to mention more convient to carry around, especially with a USB extension cable or right-angle adapter.
