Greetings,
I am using an openwrt-x86 trunk 12244 image with linux-2.6.26.2,
compiled with gcc-4.2.2, compat-wireless-2008-08-06 from:
http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6/2008/08/compat-wireless-2008-08-06.tar.bz2
and ath9k commit c3785ea5f6f61095a3cffa8c688d9aae171abb83
The hardware used is: alix & wrap boards along with a pair of
Unex DNMA-83 (Atheros 9160) wifi cards.
the mac80211 is compiled with all debug options enabled.
frame dumping is not enabled though. also timing info is
enabled on kernel debug.
the wifi cards are not able to ping one another. here is some
output:
