[Bug 62106] Re: Cannot set modes other than 'Managed' on Atheros based wifi card
the problem of changing mode in past kernels is becouse madwifi drivers changed the way to configure the device. In past vesions you do: iwconfig ath0 mode x but now you have to configure this way (http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/AdHocInterface): wlanconfig ath0 destroy wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode adhoc This worked for me, but the signal quality slugish my network. The init.d scripts aren't doing they job right. The drivers chnged the way to configure it and init.d script are the same of old version. The bad signal problem is a driver ensue. -- Cannot set modes other than 'Managed' on Atheros based wifi card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62106 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Eh, I have wonderful news : I got a wifi router, which meant I could use 'managed'. And with managed, I get Rx invalid nwid by the hundred of thousands!

I have experienced the same issue of not being able to change to any other mode than Managed with my Atheros card. I get the same error as above: sudo iwconfig ath0 mode Master Error for wireless request Set Mode (8B06) : SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument It worked perfectly in Dapper and the config I have is identical in Edgy as I pasted the contents of the old config to the new.

(1) is perhaps related to bug #60938 ; I ran depmod -a and it fixed the issue. Now both linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic and linux- restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-386 have the only-managed problem. -- Cannot set modes other than 'Managed' on Atheros based wifi card https://launchpad.net/bugs/62106 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 62106] Re: Cannot set modes other than 'Managed' on Atheros based wifi card
I can confirm this with a netgear card. I did have some problems when upgrading : (1) linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic couldn't load the module because of unresolved symbol issues ; (2) linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-386 can load the module but cannot set mode to non-managed. So I'm still using 2.6.15(-27).
