Hi Jouni,

maybe I'm simply to stupid, but after your mail I pulled the latest
version and compiled the kernel from wireless-testing:

acapulco ~ # uname -a
Linux acapulco 2.6.28-rc9-wl-dirty #2 SMP Tue Dec 30 19:04:19 CET 2008
x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

but when I try to set device to master (ap) mode I only get:

acapulco ~ # iwconfig wlan0 mode master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.


The card is a DLink DWA-547 and identifies itself as

acapulco ~ # lspci | grep Atheros
01:08.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5008 Wireless
Network Adapter (rev 01)

Maybe you (or someone else) have a hint for me what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance and best regards
Jens
