I'm trying to use my ath9k card in master mode.  I've installed
the wireless-testing kernel as suggested in this post to this list:
http://www.mail-archive.com/ath9k-devel at lists.ath9k.org/msg00532.html

When I execute 'iwconfig wlan1 mode Master' I get:

Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device wlan1 ; Invalid argument.

What's the deal?  If it matters, I only need 802.11b working here.
Thanks!

In mac80211 drivers, master mode can only be enabled by hostapd.
