The driver I'm talking about is /lib/modules/2.6.23.1-49.fc8/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/ath5k.ko And is provided by the package kernel-2.6.23.1-49.fc8 you sure this is m17n-contrib problem? The mac80211 subsystem used by ath5k simply does not support master mode at this time. |
Description of problem: At Fedora 7 using the livn'as madwifi I could set it to Master mode. At Fedora 8 It doesn't accept that parameter, even when set with system-config-network Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: [root@main ~]# iwconfig ath0 mode Master Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument. [root@main ~]# Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Should accept the "Mode Master" parameter. Additional info: It does accept "iwconfig ath0 mode Managed" so I know my command line is OK.
