Hi,
first: Please CC me as I'm not subscribed to the list.
I have the following wireless card: 04:02.0 Network controller:
Atheros Communications Inc. AR9227 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
I can't set it to master mode, but this card should support it:
server ~ # iwconfig wlp4s2
wlp4s2 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=19 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
server ~ # iwconfig wlp4s2 mode Master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlp4s2 ; Invalid argument.
My kernel config should be correct:
server linux # cat .config | grep ATH9K
CONFIG_ATH9K_HW=y
CONFIG_ATH9K_COMMON=y
# CONFIG_ATH9K_BTCOEX_SUPPORT is not set
CONFIG_ATH9K=y
CONFIG_ATH9K_PCI=y
# CONFIG_ATH9K_AHB is not set
# CONFIG_ATH9K_DEBUGFS is not set
CONFIG_ATH9K_RATE_CONTROL=y
# CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC is not set
server linux # cat .config | grep MAC80211
CONFIG_MAC80211=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_HAS_RC=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL_HT=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_MINSTREL=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT="minstrel_ht"
# CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH is not set
CONFIG_MAC80211_LEDS=y
# CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS is not set
# CONFIG_MAC80211_MESSAGE_TRACING is not set
# CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU is not set
# CONFIG_MAC80211_HWSIM is not set
I can scan for wireless networks and probably also connect to them
(never tested because this is not an use case for me).
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Felix
