As I said in my follow up message, building the linux voyage kernel inside voyage-current (thus making use of lenny's gcc 4.3.2) almost eliminates the problem. After 24 hours uptime, I only got five "stuck beacon" lines in my dmesg, and the performance is great. I haven't yet tried any newer version of madwifi.<br>
<br>I would suggest the voyage team to build the voyage kernel under a voyage-current (lenny) environment on the 0.6.1 release.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 8:23 PM, Ward Vandewege <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ward@pong.be">ward@pong.be</a>></span> wrote:<br>
