Hello!
I've been trying to set an Atheros NIC to AP mode using the ath5k
driver but it fails:
# iwconfig wlan0 mode master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.

First I've tried this with the driver version that is included with 2.6.27
but when I saw that it doesn't work I have installed the compat-wireless
tarball from today (2008-11-12) but it still doesn't work.
Is this how it supposed to be (eg. not supported yet) or am I just doing
something wrong?
Thanks,
Sab
