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)
