This release represents a combined release for older products and also provides incremental updates to newer release products from a single baseline. =============== RELEASE SUMMARY =============== Current release: 6.3.0.0 Integrated radio FW WiPortG V5.0.11 ================== PRODUCTS SUPPORTED ================== V6.3.0.0 supports the following products: -> WiPortG ===================== Associated Webmanager ===================== 1.5.0.0 ================= FIRMWARE RELEASES ================= wptG_6300.rom (060821) - Supports WiPortG Destination file: W6 ======= CAUTION ======= ============ NEW FEATURES ============ The firmware release uses 6.2.0.3 Release as the baseline for features and escalations. - 802.11i with PreShared Keys. Including CCMP encryption. - Monitor mode command: SA. Available in wireless only mode and bridging mode. Scans the air and reports found BSS's. - Monitor mode command: NS. Reports the status of the Ethernet and Wireless interfaces, including current negotiated settings. - TX data rate auto with max setting - WEP passphrase hashing generates all 4 keys. Algorithm as in Linksys WRT54G. ================ REMOVED FEATURES ================ None =================== Operational changes =================== - Wireless encryption settings changed meaning from fixed to minimum. If TKIP is configured under 802.11i, it will choose the higher CCMP if the AP supports it. If the AP supports only TKIP, that is chosen. If it supports WEP only it will not associate with this setting. ========= BUG FIXES ========= - WiPortG: TKIP+WEP64 and TKIP+WEP128 modes not correctly working. - Web Manager access over wired Ethernet in Bridging Mode not available. - Wired Network access in Bridging Mode inoperational if wireless interface is not associated and open. - Ethernet PHY not turned off in Wireless only mode, causing 100mA extra current consumption. - Short preamble capability not advertised when creating adhoc network. - C-051117-73096 Xport-03: Parity Errors with extended ascii at 7O1 - C-060427-79577 Xport-03 sometimes takes 5 minutes to get a DHCP address if 77fe flooding occurs. - C-050303-61010 UDS100 - Bug in TCP Stack - RST connection, takes time to allow SYNs - C-060522-80531 WiPort - Slow TCP Disconnection in v6.1 - C-060327-78241 WiBox E- 6.1.0.1RC1-DSTest Results Failing At Higher Baud For SW & N Flow - C-060725-82989 WiPort G-AdHoc Network With WEP On, Fails Sometimes ========== KNOWN BUGS ========== - C-060511-80079 WiPort - Multiple characters echoed back in UDP mode (Datagram Type 01). - C-060511-80079 WiPort-RS232 & RS485 2 Wire Echos Characters ================= KNOWN LIMITATIONS ================= - Ethernet mode setting: full duplex not working for fixed modes. Working correctly for autonegotiate - C-060321-77975: WiBox-6.0.0.1 WPA Randomly Drops Connectivity When Roaming Need To Reboot. - Roaming requires loss of connection to current AP, before scanning and association to closer AP will commence.
