Hello, I'm getting problems to turn my laptop in master mode.
When I try to change the mode I get an error:
sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
I followed the guide to install the drivers and the problem persists
(http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43/devices), also tried to
use the drivers installed from repositories of ubuntu karmic desktop,
with and without networkmanager running
The board is running fine, I have an broadcom 4311 rev 2 and running
the driver b43
The kernel is from ubuntu, do I need any special compilation of it?
lsmod | grep b43
b43 136552 0
ssb 40944 1 b43
mac80211 209912 1 b43
cfg80211 109144 2 b43,mac80211
led_class 5256 1 b43
The driver creates two interfaces, with iwconfig:
(other interfaces of my computer)
...
wmaster0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated

Encryption key:off

Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0

Why I get "Invalid Argument"? The argument Isn't recognized...
Thanks!
