Should be able to use "iw dev wlan0..." Because I might want to run two access points (two SSIDs, anyway) on the same radio... one with WEP on one VLAN (for Wifi SIP handsets), and one with WPA-PSK2 on another VLAN (for laptops, etc). >> pbx ~ # iw phy phy0 info >> command failed: No buffer space available (-105) > > Means the netlink buffer was exceeded.

I stopped the distro build and did an "ls -R" after building linux, and there were no drivers other than cfg80211.ko and mac80211.ko that get duplicated. After resuming the rest of the build, there were drivers from compat-wireless including ath5k, and cfg80211.ko and mac80211.ko also had refreshed timestamps matching everything else. But, if you think there's still a doubt, what to look for in the modinfo? -Philip -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
