Hi,
Here is our configuration
* Madwifi: trunk r3837
* Kernel: 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 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...
ath0 IEEE 802.11a ESSID:"asdf" Nickname:""

At station side...
{{{

modprobe wlan_scan_sta
wlanconfig ath0 destroy
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
ifconfig ath0 up
iwconfig ath0 essid "asdf"

lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 no wireless extensions.
wifi0 no wireless extensions.

}}}
At the statio side when we scan ...
{{{
iwlist ath0 scan
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...
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,
