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 <a href="https://www.pentoo.ch/svn/portage/trunk/net-wireless/compat-wireless/files/super_secret_patch.diff">https://www.pentoo.ch/svn/portage/trunk/net-wireless/compat-wireless/files/super_secret_patch.diff</a> . 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 <div>
