3 Software features

Linux Operating System and Linux WiFi Software Framework are used to configured and controlled

WE865-DUAL and help interfacing it with the GE863-PRO

3.1 Software features

• Active scan for networks in the local area

• Connection to infrastructure (access point) or independent (ad-hoc) networks

• Starting an unsecured or security-enabled (WEP encrypted) independent (ad-hoc) network.

• Connection to security-enabled (WPA/WPA2 encrypted) networks

EAP Method supported:

• EAP-TLS

• EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)

• EAP-PEAP/TLS (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)

• EAP-PEAP/GTC (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)

• EAP-PEAP/OTP (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)

• EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)

• EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge

• EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC

• EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP

• EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2

• EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS

• EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2

• EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP

• EAP-TTLS/PAP

• EAP-TTLS/CHAP

• EAP-PSK

• Operation as an independent station (in infrastructure and ad hoc networks)

• A Management Information Base (MIB), used mainly for system configuration, such as setting

the MAC address, with values downloaded from the host or from non-volatile memory during

system initialisation

• 802.11i security enhancements (except STAKey)

• The firmware’s default MIB contents can be initialised from an EEPROM. This can be used to

set basic per-design and per-device data, such as the radio’s MAC address.

• Basic receive radio strength and signal quality data are available via the MIB

• Basic power saving (both IEEE 802.11 protocol and chip sleep modes)

• Host wake up signalling

• Host handshaking for deep sleep
