Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Hi,
I just did the following:
As I reported this error, I was using debian testing. I upgraded to
debian-unstable and fetched the latest 2.6-git and compiled it under
kernel 2.6.24.2!
And see, now it works! I'm not sure if it's kind of a version conflict or
if very recently something in the ath5k has been changed which fixed this
issue.
WPA2 with preshared key works also. The only 'issue' I see right now, is,
that txpower seems to be limited to 0dBm.
tpad:/etc/openvpn# iwlist ath0 txpower
ath0 unknown transmit-power information.
Current Tx-Power=0 dBm (1 mW)
If I change txpower with iwconfig, it accepts every value (even such which
are not supported by the card), but no change is displayed in iwconfig or
iwlist.
Is this 'normal' in this stage or should txpower set/get work?
DHCP works for me.
Greetings,
M. Kramer
