Why my wireless card "atheros" run only as an acces point in "Master" mode.

jardiamj · 11-10-2007, 01:57 AM

I had someone compile the madwifi driver successfully,
I can get the atheros up and running but only
as an access point in "Master" mode.
I have the 2.6.18 kernel and debian/testing, installed
as of nov 4th. And, putting pre-up commands into
/etc/network/interfaces puts an error.
What can I do to make it work properly?

What error do you get if you try to set the mode?

iwconfig ath0 mode managed

What's the complete output of iwconfig ath0 after setting mode to managed?

What's the output of ifconfig ath0?

of lsmod?
