Description Jim Knepley 2005-03-02 18:21:32 UTC

Unable to connect to 802.11A network. After multiple attempts, the SB2 display
goes blank and the unit requires a power-cycle to become responsive.

802.11a is not supported in the cards we're using.  Can you give details on how to get the player to be 
unresponsive (with the latest firmware)?

thx.

to vidur to add to his testing regimen.  we won't be supporting 802.11a but the player shouldn't lock 
up.

Comment 3 Vidur Apparao 2005-03-10 22:54:26 UTC

In fact, the player running current firmware shouldn't even be seeing 802.11a
networks, since the wireless card won't detect 5GHz signals.
