Hello Jeremy, The current version of madwifi in CVS (Bering-uClibc) is ng r1440, this includes the recent "autocreate" change. There are a few ways to setup madwifi, you can set autocreate to none in /etc/modules like this: ... ath_pci autocreate=none ... This way you can create multiple AP VAPs in /etc/network/interfaces with "wireless-mode master".
You can also set: ... ath_pci autocreate=ap ... and don't set "wireless-mode" in /etc/network/interface. An AP VAP will be created with module loading. I also tested it with just "ath_pci" in /etc/modules, so no argument. By default a STA is created this way. If I set "wireless-mode master" in /etc/network/interfaces the mode is also changed to "AP". The best way to setup Madwifi in Bering-uClibc is in MHO the first option, so "ath_pci autocreate=none" in /etc/modules and controll the mode in /etc/network/interfaces.
