Hi
I am using 22-03-2006 ng version. And running the driver on three
laptops, dell pentim M. My kernel version on two laptop is 2.6.12 ( FC4)
and third one is 2.6.9 ( FC3).
I am running some throughput test as well as running some experiments
in wireless mode and wanted to measure the throughput for 802.11b network.
But to annoying surprise 802.11b is acting in a rude way. After a while (
1-3 min) the ath0 device disappears ( like when you use ifconfig ath0 down
command). And the frequency of the card is wandering from one to another.
Same is the case in station mode.
So far the problem appear to be only in 802.11b mode.
I tried it on all the stations and behaviour of the device appears to be
same.
regards
Malik
