Hi,
has anyone had any joy getting an atheros card working in Master mode in
Fedora 12. All the options in the networking and network-script directories
say Mode=Master but it won't start. The error on bringing wlan0 up is;
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.

Failing this, is there an easy way to install madwifi, as I had trouble
finding a repository with the atheros drivers in.

People are also talking about compat-wireless, but a yum search reveals
nothing in the repositories. Also is there a way of finding out in fedora
what options were used to compile the kernel.

Thanks,
James
