I have tried madwifi-trunk-r3562 on MIPS platform (OpenWRT on ASUS WL-
500gp), kernel 2.4.32 and experienced problems. On same hardware, madwifi-
ng-r2628 works very good.
Madwifi-trunk-r3562 is setup as AP.
Wireless interface setup script is attached. This script works for r2628.
Problems are:
* after booting, channel should be set to 165 (and domain set to 11a),
but it stays on channel 1. Only after `ifconfig ath0 down; iwconfig ath0
channel 165; ifconfig ath0 up` channel is changed to 165. After that,
`iwpriv ath0 doth_chanswitch 149 20` also works.
* now, when on channel 165, client associates, but there is no transfer.
Periodically, some of the packet pass (plain icmp ping) but with large
RTT, ~5000ms. Kernel on AP side reports:
{{{
<6>NETDEV WATCHDOG: wifi0: transmit timed out
<6>NETDEV WATCHDOG: wifi0: transmit timed out
<6>NETDEV WATCHDOG: wifi0: transmit timed out
<6>NETDEV WATCHDOG: wifi0: transmit timed out
<6>NETDEV WATCHDOG: wifi0: transmit timed out

<6>NETDEV WATCHDOG: wifi0: transmit timed out

}}}
Strange thing is that r3562 works fine as 802.11b AP on i386 platform
(PCengines WRAP). Both MIPS and i386 are running on kernel 2.4.32
