I hope you can point me into the right direction.

I've already tried this patch

Thanks.

Why are you building compat-wireless-2.6.35-rc6 when you already ahve
2.6.35.4? You realize this is 100% pointless, right?

Hi Luis.

Because atheros wireless card is not injecting packets using aircrack, 
and the power is lower comparing it with older kerneles. I use to 
install ath5k modules compiled from compat-wireless-2.6.32.11 when I was 
using linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic and that worked for me.
Do you have a better idea of how can I fix that? I'll really appreciate it.
Thanks.

Sorry, I have not have had time to test compile against 2.6.35, but
when I do I will let you know.

Hi,

I was able to reproduce the problem. In the kernel configuration
CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=n and CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT=y are set.
compat-wireless uses the old wireless_handlers attribute for the wext
handlers interface, but this is only activated if CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=y
is set.
We can not use the new interface through struct wiphy that cfg80211_wext
normally uses. The struct is shipped by compat-wireless and changed
ofter with different kernel versions, so the pointers do not point to
the correct position when using two different versions of this strcut.
compat-wireless should *always* deactivates CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT if
CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT is not set. I got our compat_autoconf.h to overwirte
the kernels autoconf.h by add it to LINUXINCLUDE, but I have not found a
way how to disable CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT in the makefile if it was set in
the kernel because config.mk is pared before the kernel configuration is
parsed. An other way would be to rename CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT to something
else in compat-wireless to prevent the kernel from overwriting this value.

There will be no way to support cfg80211_wext without a kernel
configured with CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT=y.

So, as far as I got it, it won't work until a patch is submitted in 
compat-wireless? I'll try to build my kernel using the config you 
suggested and I'll tell you how does it goes.

After searching over the web I found this...
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=332817 
<http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=332817>
and now I was able to build the compat driver.

But... It did not solved my problem, even with the new compat drivers I 
got fixed channel -1 on mon0 using aircrack. Is there a patch for this 
newer versions that fixes this?
