Hi,
Here is our configuration
Madwifi:0.9.4 r3837
Linux :2.6.21.4
Machine: Gateworks Avila Network Platform
Processor :Intel(Xscale)IXP420 266Mhz
Radios :ubiquiti SR5 AR5213A-001 and ubiquiti SR2 AR5213A-001
When we bring up an AP and a Station using SR5 radios(Ubiquiti) ,the
station cannot see the hardware beacons of the AP instantly(We have tested
with the athdebug commands.)...Its only visible after a delay...Again some
of the packets are lost when we try to pass the traffic after its
associated.(seems that the interface doesn't support traffic for some
unknown time...)
I have been working with the madwifi 0.9.3 r2456 and was working fine .
The commands that given:
modprobe ath_pci
modprobe wlan_scan_ap
wlanconfig ath0 destroy
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
ifconfig ath0 xx:xx:xx:xx up
iwconfig ath0 essid "asdf"
iwconfig ath0
at Ap side:
Warning: Driver for device ath0 has been compiled with version 22
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 20.
Some things may be broken...

At the statio side when we scan ...
iwlist ath0 scan

ath0 No scan results
I have also tried with the iwpriv commands to set the inactivity of the
interfaces but doesn't seems to be working...
After a time delay its getting associated. But misses the traffic some
times
When I tried with the SR2 radios we are getting better results than SR5
radios.but it misses the packets after associating.
Thanking you,
Best regards,
