In case anyone else runs into this with madwifi-ng, it's fixed with |
| 20 |
the latest madwifi-ng-svn ebuild in the je_fro overlay. ath5k doesn't |
| 21 |
support master mode yet in 2.6.27 (although there is a patch floating |
| 22 |
around) and madwifi-old is completely unsupported (sandbox violations, |
| 23 |
should be removed from portage). |
