Dear all,
I've installed the kernel 2.6.24 on my Ubuntu 7.10 box in order to make use of
the b43 driver. I am using the Linksys WMP54GS PCI Wifi card (BCM4318). The
compilation and the installation of the firmware worked fine and I was also
able to run the card in the STA mode. Association to a AP etc. worked fine.
However, then I've tried to switch to AP ("Master") mode like this
iwconfig wlan0 mode Master
which resulted in the following error
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
According to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 the Access Point
mode should be supported (although not well tested). Therefore, I have several
ideas why it does not work and hopefully one of you can show me the right way:
1) I need another firmware for the AP mode
2) I must not use iwconfig but this new configuration tool for cfg80211
3) I need a newer driver than the one included in 2.6.24
4) I have to use this hostap deamon?
5) I must specify an option when loading the b43 module (although modinfo b43
does not show my any matching options)
6) no more ideas ...
I hope that someone of you can help...
Best Regards,
Ingo
