Hi!
I am trying to make an AP using Orinoco Gold Cards and Avaya Silver pairs as well.
When I am using the "iwconfig eth1 commit" command I am receiving the subjected error, namely "Commit Changes" 8B00:
Set Failled on device eth1 ? operation not supported
I would appreciate you help.
Regards
Christos
Dear Mr. Economou,
Wish I could help you. I don't know.
However, if you search the sources for the string, you will probably get close to the problem. I have solved several problems in this way.
Most nice that Sisela begins as virgin sources :)
I guess we will all learn C eventually (pretty slow for me) :)
regards, john

You don't need to use the 'commit' command. As the manual page says, it's really only for debugging (and I'm not even sure it's been used for that, lately). I get exactly the same result on my cards.
To set up wireless access, what you probably want to do is:
iwconfig eth1 mode ad-hoc iwconfig eth1 essid "your network name here" ifconfig eth1 <ip address> netmask <subnet mask> broadcast <broadcast address>
and then set up DHCP, IP forwarding, etc.
