Artie Gold stated in a recent post
"The only problems that I know about are some difficulties with the mac80211
driver implementation for running atheros cards in master mode (in specific
circumstances)..."

I did a quick google on problems in this area and didn't manage to zero in
on anything much.  I am using an Atheros card, in master mode using mac80211
and ath5k drivers.  What I have noticed is that the unit (ALIX6f2) reboots
for no apparent reason.  I did read somewhere about possible power issues in
early ALIX boards and wifi cards but I imagine that is all sorted now.

So can Artie or anyone else shed any further light on the problems you refer
to that previous post?

Cheers
Shane
