[Madwifi-users] AP mode not working with r1418

[<raj...@si...>]

Hi,

I am a research student and quite new to madwifi. I am trying to use the
madwifi-ng-r1418-20060131 version. I've posted the same previously but did not find any response.I've configured my card as AP client(station) but am not able to communicate
with the AP. I've some related queries:

1)The card scans to find the AP and other APs when i give 'iwlist ath0 scan' but
is not talking to it, though it shows the AP's MAC address when i forcibly give
'iwconfig ath0 ap 00:02:16:FC:C7:24' 

Am i wrong anyhere in configuring the card properly? I've given the log at the end of this mesaage.


2)I am also not able to use 'iwpriv' command and it says 'no private ioctls'
though it is specified in the User Document.

3)My ultimate aim though is to port this driver for a RTOS called VDK for my
DSP. I am also not clear if ath_hal.ko module can be used as such for my DSP.
Has anyone tried porting this driver for some other RTOS? Any help will be
apprecited. 

Can any of the forum members or the driver code developers help me please? This is quite urgent.


Below is the extract of dmesg of my card which gives the hal and other versions.
