[Madwifi-users] Trouble in AP mode, AR5212/AR5213

[Ismael G. <ism...@gm...>]

Hello!

I'm on Debian Testing/Unstable AMD64, kernel 2.6.25, using 
madwifi-source 0.9.4-r3772.20080716. I installed the driver using the 
debian way (module-assistant a-i madwifi).

I have the iface on a bridge, and set as Master, with a wep key. 
Previously, this setup (with an older kernel and madwifi-source) worked 
perfectly, now I can't get any client to connect. dmesg tells me 
(hundreds of messages like this) "ath_mgtstart: Dropping; no available 
transmit buffers.".

Any idea what's wrong? What should I do?

Thanks!
Ismael
