You cannot set any card to master mode this way, you have to use hostapd to set up the access point interface. The documentation at http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/hostapd should help. :-) I'd also recommend using iw instead of iwconfig, see http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw > 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?
