Version 0.9.4 and the 0.9.4 branch don't have node refcounting at all, so I doubt that you are getting the above message with either of them. It must be some other error, but you didn't give any clues as to what it may be. You would normally get better replies if you describe just one problem with one version, but do it well. That means the exact revision, the kernel version, kernel messages from the driver, what you are doing in userspace and whatever would be helpful for others to reproduce the problem. > I've tried to use the ath5k drivers but neither card is supported yet. As far as I know, all hardware supported by MadWifi is supported by either ath5k or ath9k. Perhaps you should try ath9k. > So, two questions, can anyone recommend a good (preferably cheap) mini > pci card that is supported by ath5k and is known to be stable when > used with kismet and has anyone else had problems getting the madwifi > drivers working on the Alix board? I'm not sure if you are hitting some bug or you have a hardware problem, so giving any recommendations would be pointless. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
