I am trying to verify all variants because I do remember that adding the change_chan patch on top of clean 2.6.31 broke that while I do vaguely remember that reverting this patch form 2.6.31.[23] did not make a working wlan. However testing is time consuming - the machine requires allways a complete shutdown, power off reboot. Strange things were happening even in 2.6.31 - for example my ad-hoc network was listed twice by iwlist scan - strangely one of the entries has 0db signal strength. Similar listing on both ends. Here is what the other end is reporting if that is of any help.. ### ath5k end shut down here ### [52262.000044] wlan0: expiring inactive STA 00:22:43:2c:76:0f [52262.000050] phy6: Removed STA 00:22:43:2c:76:0f [52262.003025] phy6: Destroyed STA 00:22:43:2c:76:0f [52343.404540] wlan0: RX ProbeReq SA=00:60:b3:06:f4:17 DA=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff BSSID=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff (tx_last_beacon=1) [52345.711165] wlan0: RX ProbeReq SA=00:60:b3:06:f4:17 DA=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff BSSID=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff (tx_last_beacon=1) ... ... ... ...
