Package: madwifi-source
Version: 1:0.9.4+r3772.20080716-1
Severity: important
This package of madwifi does not work on my system. I'm using a stock
Debian kernel and hostapd, but even manually bringing it up in adhoc
mode fails. The interface appears, but no beacons ever occur; other
devices never see the atheros equipped machine.
An error shows up in dmesg, stating:
[2171794.419413] wifi0: ath_bstuck_tasklet: Stuck beacon; resetting (beacon
miss count: 11)
I downloaded upstream v0.9.4, following links on madwifi.org, and that
works fine. I'm not sure how the Debian package differs.
lspci output:
00:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC

Subsystem: Atheros Communications Inc. Device 1052

Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: ath_pci
Kernel modules: ath5k, ath_pci
(Not using ath5k as it does not appear to support AP mode.)
