[Voyage-linux] ath5k disabling carrier sensing problems

[srinivas prasad]

I am using voyage linux for my work. All my wireless cards are atheros
cards and I am using ath5k driver. I incorporated the following change to
create the interface for enabling and disabling carrier sensing
https://www.pentoo.ch/svn/portage/trunk/net-wireless/compat-wireless/files/super_secret_patch.diff
.
Whenever i disable physical carrier sense to induce maximum overlap of
packets at the AP, the client disassociates from it and is unable to
reconnect. I get the following error message

[450677.830138] wlan0: authenticate with 00:0b:6b:da:f6:f3 (try 1)
[450677.832624] wlan0: authenticated

[450677.841921] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:0b:6b:da:f6:f3 (capab=0x401
status=0 aid=1)

[450677.898152] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:0b:6b:da:f6:f3 by local
choice (reason=3)

If it helps, for further info, the connection is an open connection.
Looking forward to a reply regarding this issue. I think it might be an
issue with voyage kernel. A similar article on linux
