Netgear MA401 host scan

johan · 03-29-2005

We are 2 final year students working on our final project. We are building a tool to scan for wireless networks. We work with the isosoft ER22 development board and a customized lcd display(4lines, 20 chars).
The development board uses the netgear MA401 wlan card. To scan we use a non-destructive active scan (using the RID fce5 request, see prism programmers manual). On completion, the host scan generates an information frame with the results. If you want to check it you can find it in the prism programmers manual page (4-112) or in RM0251.pdf on page 142...just google alittle and you will find it if you need it.

Our question is how many results can the card capture? We already were able to scan liek 7 or 8 AP's/peers but we need to know the maximum to be able to arrange the memory of the pic microcontroller the development board uses...
any help
