I have Linksys WMP300N card based on Atheros AR5416 chipset. I am running
!BackTrack 3 Beta LiveCD. It works fine in station and monitor mode. But
when I try to use in in ap mode, configuring as described on Madwifi Wiki,
in simple unencrypted way, I can see my access point from PocketPC, with
100% signal level. PocketPC could connect to ap, even obtains IP from
DHCP, but got disconnected every 5 seconds! Trying using WEP has same
effect. Here are some lines from logs.

I did try to enable debugging, but could not seen in logs none exept some
reports about client disconnections. With other access points my PocketPC
works fine and remains connected for hours.
