#1833: cannot use "master" (ap) mode with AR2425 / AR5007EG on Asus Eee

Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Type: defect
Status: new | Priority: minor
Component: madwifi: driver | Version:

I am using the madwifi-ng-r3365-20080226 snapshot with the latest patch
from this madwifi.org ticket: #1679 (also given the same version number).
I set up the following bash script to turn my atheros card into an access
point so that I could share my EV-DO connection with my friends while on
travel:
{{{
#!/bin/sh
sudo wlanconfig ath0 destroy
sudo wlanconfig ath create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
sleep 5
sudo iwconfig ath1 mode Master essid foo channel auto key off
sudo ifconfig ath1 192.168.11.1
}}}
ath1 is created properly and all of the other computers can see it, and
even "connect" to it as a regular access point. Unfortunately, There
doesn't seem to be any communication with any of the clients. When
assigning static IP's to each client computer, I have no successful pings.
When I set up a dhcp server on ath1 for the 192.168.11.0/24 subnet
(running on the same machine), no clients can successfully get a lease.
I've double checked all of the IP addresses. iwconfig seems to show that
everything is working as it should. I'm not sure what else to do. Can
anyone give me some advice, or confirm/deny that they are experiencing the
same behavior?
