Now I'm running linux-2.6.28-rc2, which is the latest from the rc-series. The Station mode, which used to work, is now not working, at least on my Intel Xscale IXP425-based ARM big-endian developer board. After applying the patch, iw-0.9.6 (the latest at this time) is capable of creating an interface running in AP mode, and hostapd doesn't comlain, but in fact, I'm unable to find any network with my laptop - and the network interface of the laptop is perfect, since I used to see the AP network with Madwifi driver, and other surrounding wireless networks... Is anybody here who has also experienced this with rc2? (git version from the last week supported station mode at least) Thanks Bye -- Tamas Selmeci R&D Engineer DENSION Audio Systems Ltd.
