#1806: Error setting retry parameter on atheros AR5212/5123
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Type: defect
Status: new | Priority: major
Component: madwifi: tools | Version: v0.9.4
Keywords: | Patch_attached: 0
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
I have an error when setting the retry parameter. The error is the same on
the two stations (Cisco Aironet PCI interface or Trend PCI interface).
We used madwifi 0.9.4 and a mandriva 2008 with a 2.6.22.9 kernel.
Is it possible to set up the retry parameter with the Atheros AR5212/
AR5213 device ?
If yes, how to do ?
Regards
Hereafter you can see the trace for the two stations
