Probably it's a stupid problem, but I'm really newbie on it.

My testbed consists of three nodes (two base stations and the Gateway).
One base station broadcast at channel 3 (2,422 GHz) andt the other uses
channel 4 (2,427 GHz), by default, mobile host module works with channel
3. Mobile detects BaseStation1 (ch 3) and everything works OK, the
problem is when a handoff is forced, mobile detects BS2 (ch 4) and
changes its default router, but its frequency remains the same (ch 3)
and mobile starts to send arp request looking for BS2's MAC address.


What I'm doing wrong?? It seems that the mobile host has a statically
assigned frequency. How can I set it to work with dinamically assigned
frequencies?
I work with the WaveLAN Turbo 11Mb PC Card from Lucent Technologies, and
Andy's drivers (on a Linux Red Hat 6.2).


Thank you very much.
