Hi, Im still unable to configure MadWifi as an AP. As suggested. I have included the outputs of iwconfig. ifconfig and route -n at both AP and STA below. Can someone please help me Each of my laptops has an inbuilt non-Atheros WiFI card called wlan0 and an external PCMCIA-based Atheros card. To keep things simple, I disabled wlan0 using ifconfig wlan0 down on each laptop. Here are the relevant command outputs. Im using the latest stable release of MadWifi (0.9.4) with patches for the 2.6.32 kernel (Lucid Lynx) /*****************************************************************/ At the AP ayb@AdLenovoLinux:~$

This could be done with wlanconfig, but the easiest way would be to use the autocreate parameter for the ath_pci module: rmmod ath_pci modprobe ath_pci autocreate=master This is described in the README file in the MadWifi sources. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin |

If you see the lines next to ath0 in my output, it says mode: Master. Im using a Lenovo Thinkpad as an AP. It has an in-built Intel-based WiFi card which is showing up as wlan0 in the output of iwconfig. It doesnt show in the output of ifconfig since I disabled it using "ifconfig wlan0 down." So I dont think theres a problem in my setting up the interface. Im reposting the output of ifconfig, iwconfig and route -n for STA and AP again below.

Try pinging AP on the station and vice versa. Use wireshark on both sides to see where the packets are lost. Check iptables settings, maybe you have strict firewall rules. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin |

As someone else suggested on this list, I disabled network manager and configured the interfaces as below. The ping now works properly between the AP and STA. Is this a known problem? --Aditya Bhave On 06/02/2010 09:25 PM, Aditya Bhave wrote: > If you see the lines next to ath0 in my output, it says mode: Master. Im > using a Lenovo Thinkpad as an AP.

Did not strike, that you may be facing the same issues, network manager scripts has no support for AP configurations and makes changes in the interface initialization scripts in undesired ways. with Regards, ASHWIN |

I am unable to configure madwifi to run in adhoc mode stably for long period of time. Long period of time meaning after 5 minutes or so..if for experiment purposes, I disconnect the link between two nodes in adhoc mode using madwifi, then if I try to reconnect them, no matter what I do..one node could never ping another node in adhoc setting. Do anybody have any issues with madwifi (ath_pci) and adhoc mode communication? Thanks.
