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. This is on a clean install of Edgy using linux-restricted- modules-2.6.17-10-generic -- 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
