Hi, i just saw that there are new madwifi-drivers.
When i merged them, an tryed to put in Master mode, i get some errors.


Code:

iwconfig ath0 mode Master

Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
   SET failed on devicve ath0 ; Invalid argument.



Do you have any idea what i do wrong?
Dit some thing change? Do i have to start the master mode with other commands? Or is there realy no Master mode any more?[/code]

The different modes are know done with wlanconfig

Code:
# wlanconfig ath0 destroy
# wlanconfig <someting> create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode <sta|adhoc|ap|monitor|wds|ahdemo>
# wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta #Standard
# wlanconfig ap0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap #AccessPoint (remember to destroy ath0 first

Sorry, can't be done. Only one mode at a time (on my atheros card anyway), that's why you have to destroy the interface before adding a new one.
