[Madwifi-devel] ioct error while creating a VAP

[Dinesh K. s. <dk...@gm...>]

Dear Friends,
                   I get following errors when creating a vap.


(none) /etc # wlanconfig ath1 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode master
wlanconfig: ioctl: Input/output error
(none) /etc #

Also i am not able to change the mode of a autocreated VAP from
802.11b to 802.11g  it does not report any error but the mode is shown
11b in iwconfig.
I even tried bringing down the interface and chaning the mode using
"iwpriv ath0 mode 3" no errors were reported and then brought the
interface up with "ifconfig ath0 up " still the mode does not change ,
same thing happens with the frequency also .
        Kindly send me some pointer since i am in a big problem due to
these things.


Regards
