00100000

Unassigned.

00080000

Unassigned.

00040000

Unassigned.

00020000

Internal error. May occur on some cards in conjunction with other described

 

error codes.

00010000

The 802.11 card in use is not compatible with the regulatory region to which

 

the unit has been programmed.

00008000

Internal error.

00004000

Internal error. May occur on some cards in conjunction with authentication or

 

association failures, or other configuration mismatches.

00002000

Received an 802.11 packet that was too large to be handled.

00001000

Internal error.

00000800

Failed to queue a data packet that could not be sent immediately for later

 

transmission. It was dropped.

00000400

Internal error.

00000200

Failed to find, sync to, and associate with an AP or ad-hoc network within a

 

reasonable time. Most likely there is no AP or ad-hoc network within range

 

that satisfies the unit's ESSID, NETWORK-TYPE, and CHANNEL

 

parameters.

00000100

Received an 802.11 data packet that was not encapsulated as per RFC1042 or

 

802.1h. Unit will still decapsulate and interpret the packet. Some vendors'

 

APs trip this error when they send out "magic packets" containing proprietary

 

extensions not defined by the 802.11 spec.

00000080

Received an 802.11 data packet encapsulated in a completely foreign manner,

 

or not encapsulated at all. Unit will still attempt to interpret the packet, but

 

proper interpretation is not guaranteed. The packet may be dropped as

 

unintelligible.

00000040

Received an encrypted packet that could not properly be decrypted. Packet

 

was dropped.

00000020

Unspecified error during packet reception. At least one packet was dropped.

 

Absence of this error bit does not imply that all packets have been received

 

correctly, however.

00000010

A received packet failed CRC check and was dropped.

00000008

Internal error. May occur in conjunction with "no AP or ad-hoc network

 

within range" errors.
