Hi people,

I have a bit problem with MT.

My problem is this error: "unassoc data error".

I don´t know the meaning of this error.

tell us more about your setup, paste your configuration, your logs, what version do you use etc.

In my log appears periodically:

<< unassoc data sender
unauth or missing data sender
deauth data sender >>

Its seems a failed try of connection.

I use a bridge(linksys) to connect to my MT.

The bridge catches the MT´s SSID and achieves the connection but with my laptop I haven´t connection by wireless.

If I use dhcp, MT doesn`t assign me any address and if I use IP fixed I don´t connect.

I have change the bridge twice but it doesn´t work.

Thanks

This probably has to do with MAC cloning in the bridge. I saw something similar with a LinkSys WRT54G (?).
It associated with the MikroTik AP with the MAC address of its' wireless interface, but the data the client behind it sent was received with another source MAC address (I think it was the MAC of the ethernet interface of the LinkSys, but not sure...).

This causes such errors, as the AP says "hey - this source MAC address hasn't registered with me before!" and drops the connection.

I could also be transparent bridging, which in that case you'd have to authenticate each user behind the bridge. I somehow doubt that a SOHO grade linksys product would do transparent bridging by default, so what cmit said would probably be more accurate.

the linksys Wet11 can do mac cloning with the newest firmware but at default it uses it's own mac to authenticate with the AP. You could try both methods. Other than that you could check the wet11 is configured correctly because they normally are very universal in connecting to AP's my only gripe with wet11 was they are sometimes unreliable and need rebooting alot.
