Hi,
First all,congrat for the project and thx for your work.
I have a macbook pro and during 30 min or 1 hour I can work but afterwards
it is imposible coz the system lose the connection. The driver is still
load but it is imposible to assign any ESSID.
Im user of kde and knetworkmanager lose the connectivity. Also I tested
with gnome and networkmanager for gtk and it is the same.
So I have to restart the computer to reload the module. My question till
there wasn't any new stable version, is can I reload the module manualy. I
tried the following script:
{{{
ifdown ath0;
ifconfig ath0 down;
/usr/src/madwifi/scripts/madwifi-unload; (to unload the drivers)
depmod -ae ;
/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon stop;
/etc/init.d/hostapd stop;
/etc/init.d/apport restart;
/etc/init.d/module-init-tools restart;
/etc/init.d/linux-restricted-modules-common restart;
/etc/init.d/hal restart;
modprobe ath_pci;
modprobe ath_hal;
modprobe wlan;
modprobe wlan_scan_sta;
modprobe ath_rate_sample;
/etc/init.d/hostapd start;
ifconfig ath0 up;
/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start
}}}
But it didn't work and I had to restart.
Thx and again congrat for the project
Comment:
First of all: thanks for your kind words on the project.
This ticket is a duplicate of
[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.madwifi.user/13311 your
support request] in madwifi-users.
AFAIK the issue that makes you wanting to reload the driver is already
addressed in at least one other ticket. If the description there misses
some information that you have, please add them as a comment there.
Thanks.
