RE: [Madwifi-users] Atheros driver and bridging

[Daniel S. <da...@la...>]

So that kinda rules out the bridging code being buggy or the PCnet32 driver,
since they worked with your older Prism2 card.

Guess it is a problem with the Atheros driver.

Developers, help! (please)

Hi Daniel,

for my wired interface I'm using the PCnet32 driver (it's an AMD 79C973
chipset. I was using a Prism2 card (wlan-ng driver) and bridging worked
fine. I then switched to using the Atheros driver with a DLink DWL-G520
card. After switching I got this problem.
