[Debian-eeepc-devel] Wifi : no "Ad-Hoc" or "Master" mode.

[Rémi Bouhl]

I am trying to make my eeePC a Wifi Access point, it does not work.
Ad-Hoc mode does not work too.

remi at eeePC:~$ sudo iwconfig ath0 mode Master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument.
remi at eeePC:~$ sudo iwconfig ath0 mode Ad-Hoc
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument.

Wifi works as client of Acces Points.

remi at eeePC:~$ dpkg -l | grep madwifi
