Is anyone else having this problem. I have a dozen access points with SR2 cards in them, and the hundreds of thousands of new laptops being shipped using Intel's 3945ABG Pro wireless cards do not see the SR2 radios AT ALL!

I can't believe something like this could happen. I have had emails daily now from people saying they just got a new laptop and they can't get to my hotspots. All of them have these new Intel wireless cards, and all of the hotspots have SR2 radios in the AP.

These Intel cards see other generic APs (dlink, linksys) with radios of other types.

Has anyone else seen this happening? Any ideas on if there might be a setting in the "wireless interface" menus that I can change that might make the SR2 act in a more compatible fashion?

I hope so, otherwise hundreds of thousands of new laptops being shipped today are not going to work with any of our SR2 radios...

Upgrade to current release of MT...fixed in 2.9.25 according to this thread

http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=8299

For some reason when I searched the forums that article did not come up. I see what needs to be done. I already use 2.9.26 so I will change ,

but what other features about the SR2 does this turn off. Will it change any of the settings that I buy SR2s for like the tramsmit power, etc? Does anybody know what this setting actually does?

AFAIK it changes the position of the MT Proprietary info like radio-name
os-version in the 802.11x header to further back to avoid overlapping the new Intel stuff now in that location that the new laptops etc are putting out.
If you enable post-proprietary then in order to work with other MT's then they needed to be similarly upgraded and set to post (which is the default).
