As mentioned beforein my last mail you should move that request to the
appropriate mailing list, which is madwifi-users. Find futher details on
how to subscribe there (if not done already) here:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/madwifi-users

In addition, I ask you to stop urging people with stuff like "answer
immediately", "please reply urgently" and so on, as could be seen
several times in mails sent by you to this list.

This project is run by volunteers, and so is the support via mailing
lists and IRC channel. You're free to ask your questions how they come,
but please try to follow these guidelines:

0. first try to solve the problem yourself. If you fail with that, add a
description of the steps you took so far to your problem description.
This helps to get a clearer picture of the situation you're facing,
increases the probability to get an answer, and allows to avoid steps
that you already tried yourself without success.

1. please take care to direct your requests to the appropriate mailing
list (-devel is for questions related to modifying / extending the
driver's source, -users is for all questions regarding setting up and
running WLAN clients or APs based on madwifi, -docs for questions
relating to the documentation of madwifi).

2. ask your questions without trying to put pressure to anyone who might
think of answering them. No one here is payed for helping others, so
using stuff like "answer immediately", "please help urgently", and so on
is most probably contraproductive and, in addition, is highly annoying
for the audience.

3. be patient when waiting for answers. As most of us have limited time
to spend for support, answers might take up to one week.

4. if you don't get an answer after 1.5 weeks, you might consider to
resend your request. Take the chance to add a description of other steps
you might have taken meanwhile.

5. If you don't get an answer after resending your question, it's quite
obvious that no one knows a solution at this point. It doesn't make
sense to resend your question for another time, other than probably
annoying the audience.

6. If you were able to resolve your problem, please let the audience
know. It would be nice if you could describe in short words what your
solution looks like. This might save a lot of time for others who might
suffer from the same problems later.

Rashmi, not all points mentioned above are applying to you in special.
But I felt like it might be worth to mention them while I'm at it, for
reference purposes. So I hope you don't feel offended by this mail -
it's not meant like that.

Bye, Mike
