Is there any place when i can find the kwnowed bugs of the oldest MKTK versions?

2

there is no such thing, well maybe changelog has some info. better upgrade to newest version

I was thinking about this. The changelog is great, but we don’t have release notes. List of when features are added, too, would be great.
Perhaps a WIKI, for each version?
Then everyone can contribute.

Not everyone can or wants to upgrade to the latest, desirable as that sometimes may be …

Thoughts anyone?

I can update to 2.9.12 or 13 because of the expiration time..

I just want to know if there a knowed bug for the 2.9.6 version. I been having a lot of problems, specially whit the DHCP association.

When i put on “connect”, it actually send me a “connected to ess” but the DHCP client never gives me the IP…

I even reset the mktk and set just one of the cards in “station” mode whit no other configuration from that, but still dont want to give me any damn number…

I also play whit tx-power, and switching the band from B , B/G… but the result its always the same.

The only hope i have is that the problem is generated by a BUG and not from the atheros cards… ( two dwl-g510 AR5212, 30 mW )..


Any ideas ?

I would first try with a static IP address to verify if you can reach the DHCP Server at all. If that works, then I would use a sniffer connected to the same physical LAN as the DHCP Server. There is a packet sniffer in Mikrotik RouterOS but I usually use tcpdump for linux. Your friend can probably help you out by having an eye on the packet sniffer when you send the dhcp request on your side with Mikrotik RouterOS.

tcpdump -lenx -s 1500 port bootps or port bootpc

The following will display only the packets with Client Hardware Addresses which start with 00:40:96.

tcpdump -lenx -s 1500 port bootps or port bootpc | dhcpdump -h ^00:40:96
