Wow, I didn't know that the voyage team built a madwifi-modules from 0.9.4-rc2, like I did in my tests! Or did they build it because of my tests?<br><br>It's nice to see that rc2 also worked for someone else. Now we have to inform the madwifi team about this.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I installed the latest pkg from 22-Feb-2009:<br>
<br>
madwifi-modules-2.6.26-486-voyage_0.9.4~rc2-1+6.0-3_i386.deb<br>
<br>
and now, it works without any stuck beacon error - great!<br>
<br>
many thanks!<br>
<br>
regards,<br>
juergen<br>
