TECHNICAL CONSTRAINTS None. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. KNOWN ISSUES 6.1 Site Monitor Function may hang with Peer-to-Peer Workgroup. When the card has Station Functions firmware v.6.04, the Site Monitor function of the Client Manager will (sooner or later) hang when the station is in Peer-to-Peer Group mode. The fewer stations participate in the same Peer-to-Peer Group, the higher the chance this problem occurs. When this problem occurs, normal data communication may be hampered as well. Using the Station Functions firmware v.6.06 or higher, prevents this problem. 6.2 Site Monitor Limitations with Peer-to-Peer Workgroups. With Station Functions firmware v.6.04 or v.6.06 on the Card, the Site Monitor function of the Client Manager does not show Peer-to-Peer Groups when the station is connected to an access point or RG based network. It also does not show other networks (neither infrastructure nor Peer-to-Peer Groups) when the station is operating in a Peer-to-Peer Group. A future version of the Station Functions firmware will address this issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.
