Description From Aleksander Paliswiat 2004-11-15 08:12:50

There is no possibility to define preamble type in card. 'Preamble' field in 
802.11b beacon frames sent by card indicate that card accepts only long 
preamble. i cannot verify what kind of preamble is used in fact.
repro
- define an 802.11b IBSS network on station with the card
- start sniffer and look into beacons sent by the card - the preamble bit is 
set to zero (indicate we accept only long preamble)

preamble type setting is supported through "iwpriv eth1 set_preemble 1/0"

1 --> long preamble
0 --> auto mode, we will choose the preamble type according to the capability 
field in the beacon when associating to networks.

In 1.0.8, "iwpriv eth1 set_preamble 0/1" can work. Verify it.
