Hello,
I have been using prism54 driver and my PCI wireless card was working in
Master mode. After upgrade to kernel-2.6.32 there is no prism54 driver
so I switched to p54pci. The problem is that I cannot set the Master
mode anymore, I get this error:
# iwconfig wlan0 mode master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
This is my wireless card:
03:05.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation ISL3890 [Prism GT/Prism
Duette]/ISL3886 [Prism Javelin/Prism Xbow] (rev 01)
this is my kernel version: kernel-2.6.32.9-70.fc12.x86_64
And here is what I found in dmesg:

Is there any possibility to set the master mode?
Thank you,
Jan Martinek
