Hi everybody

I just upgrading my kernel from 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 to 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 and then trying to emerge wireless-tools as I always do before
Code:

$ emerge -av wireless-tools prism54-firmware
[ebuild   R   ] net-wireless/wireless-tools-28  USE="nls -multicall" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] net-wireless/prism54-firmware-1.0.4.3  0 kB

Then when I try to launch my wifi interface I have this error
Code:

$ /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
 * Caching service dependencies ...                                                                                              [ ok ]
 * Starting eth1
 *   Configuring wireless network for eth1
Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) :
    SET failed on device eth1 ; Input/output error.
 *   eth1 does not support setting the channel to "13"
 *   Failed to configure wireless for eth1

here is my dmesg output
Code:

eth1: resetting device...
eth1: uploading firmware...
eth1: firmware version: 1.0.4.3
eth1: firmware upload complete

here is my kernel config
Code:

CONFIG_IEEE80211=y
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP=y
CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP=y
CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_TKIP=y
CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC=y
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=y
# Prism GT/Duette 802.11(a/b/g) PCI/Cardbus support
CONFIG_PRISM54=y
CONFIG_HOSTAP=y
CONFIG_HOSTAP_FIRMWARE=y
CONFIG_HOSTAP_FIRMWARE_NVRAM=y
# CONFIG_HOSTAP_PLX is not set
# CONFIG_HOSTAP_PCI is not set
# CONFIG_HOSTAP_CS is not set
CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS=y

finally I add my net config
Code:

config_eth1="10.10.10.1/24 brd 10.10.10.255"
essid_eth1="intra"
mode_eth1="master"
channel_eth1="13"
key_intra="****-****-****-****-****-****-** enc restricted"

I don't really see what I'm doing wrong did someone can tell me what happen?
Thanks

Ok I add this because I've found something strange, in my previous /etc/conf.d/net config I have set eth1 in "master" mode which give me my error.
I've decided to change this mode in "auto" and as I have no access point I get this error
* Failed to configure wireless for eth1
After that I return to "master" mode and now all seem to be working...
Really not understand did someone have any idea about what's happenning?
