Hi,...
when running my "AR5413 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)" in Master Mode and doing
something
with iwconfig, e.g. "iwconfig ath0 channel 9" my Machine hard freezes
requiring power cycle reboot. No error messages displayed and no logs
written, just lock-up.
Steps taken:
{{{
$ wlanconfig wlan0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
}}}
Result: wlan0 is created in Master mode
{{{
$ iwconfig wlan0
}}}
Result: shows normal information of wlan0 in master mode
{{{
$ iwconfig wlan0 channel 9
}}}
Result: dead lock.
Station mode (sta) on the same Maschine runs very nice without any
problems.
$ uname -a
{{{
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.24.4-64.fc8 #1 SMP Sat Mar 29 09:54:46 EDT

}}}
Using madwifi from livna:
{{{

$ lspci | grep Atheros
