Yes, I have known the reason of "Buffer for request 8B0B too small ". Just wireless tools version is too low. When I use wireless_tools.26, the problem about "Buffer for request 8B0B too small " disappeard. But another error exists still, following: # ifconfig ath0 up # ath0: hardware error; reseting ath0: hardware error; reseting ath0: hardware error; reseting ath0: hardware error; reseting ......... ( Ctrl +c) Any command can cause "ath0: hardware error; reseting" continually, such as iwconfig ath0 essid "foo" and so on. Any suggestions?
