Ok, this doesn't seem to interest anyone in the wireless list. Hopefully someone cares to respond from the ath9k list.. I experience this problem with station mode too. I get ath: Unable to reset hardware; reset status -5 (freq 2412 MHz) Could not set interface wlan0 flags: Input/output error Could not set interface 'wlan0' UP when starting wpa_supplicant. Could it be that ar9390 isn't really supported by ath9k driver? I have quite recent compat wireless drivers in use: Compat-wireless backport release: compat-wireless-v3.1-rc8-1 Backport based on linux-2.6-allstable.git v3.1-rc8 Has anyone managed to use ar9390 in linux? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: wireless newbie <wnewbie72@xxxxxxxxx> Date: 2011/11/11 Subject: ar9390 Support for master mode? To: linux-wireless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hi all, Has any one used ar9390 based devices as an AP? I'm trying, but all fails when I load hostapd: ath9k 0000:01:00.0: mon.wlan0: Features changed: 0x00004800 -> 0x00004000 ath: Unable to reset hardware; reset status -5 (freq 2412 MHz) Could not set interface mon.wlan0 flags: Input/output error nl80211: Failed to set interface wlan0 into AP mode nl80211 driver initialization failed.
