[Voyage-linux] ath5k

[Laili Aidi]

Hej,

Not sure if have to start new thread, but I also have trouble set up AP with master mode in Voyage 0.7.5. I've configured one in Voyage 0.7.0 following what's in README file and it's running well, but when I try with Voyage 0.7.5 with the same procedure, I can't see my AP running. I still can't find any idea what's missing or something wrong. This is the procedure and configuration that I've done.
root at voyage:~# vi /etc/network/interfaces
# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or
# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

# mac80211-based drivers
#auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
        address 192.168.6.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.6.255
        up iwconfig wlan0 essid Bytewalla-Voyage4 mode Master


root at voyage:~#vi /etc/default/hostapd
UN_DAEMON="yes"

root at voyage:~#vi /etc/dnsmasq.more.conf

root at voyage:~#/etc/init.d/hostapd restart
root at voyage:~#/etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart
root at voyage:/etc/hostapd# /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart
Restarting DNS forwarder and DHCP server: dnsmasq.

But When I do /etc/network/interfaces restart, it shows this error:
root at voyage:~#/etc/network/interfaces restart
 root at voyage:/etc/hostapd# /etc/network/interfaces restart
/etc/network/interfaces: line 3: auto: command not found
/etc/network/interfaces: line 4: iface: command not found
/etc/network/interfaces: line 6: auto: command not found
/etc/network/interfaces: line 7: iface: command not found
/etc/network/interfaces: line 28: iface: command not found
/etc/network/interfaces: line 29: address: command not found
/etc/network/interfaces: line 30: netmask: command not found
/etc/network/interfaces: line 31: broadcast: command not found
/etc/network/interfaces: line 32: up: command not found

and in iwconfig, it still say may wlan0 is in "Managed" mode, even I have configured it as "Master"
root at voyage:~# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.
eth0      no wireless extensions.
eth1      no wireless extensions.
eth2      no wireless extensions.
wlan0     IEEE 802.11abg  ESSID:"Voyage4"
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=20 dBm
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off

I would helpful for any clue about this.

Hi ag,

What does it break?  I used it everyday and my customer were using it without problems.

The ath5k driver works pretty well for an access point on voyage 7.0 (2.6.32 kernel), with a couple of known bugs that don't seem to cause much trouble in terms of functionality. In voyage 7.5 (2.6.38) it appears to be significantly broken.

Is there a sweet spot somewhere in between? (a better kernel/module combination) ...

Thanks!
