My apologies all, I had the antenna plugged in to the first connector. ath5k appears to only use the second. Plugging in to the second one fixes most problems. I didn't get a chance to see if the ath5k way of creating and joining an ibss works now, but we can now get full throughput in adhoc mode. I will try the ibss joining without MadWifi tomorrow.
Thanks for all the help. -- Jonathan Guerin On Wed, Jul 21, 2010 at 11:16 AM, Jonathan Guerin <jonat...@guerin.id.au> wrote: > On Tue, Jul 20, 2010 at 9:20 PM, Bob Copeland <m...@bobcopeland.com> wrote: >>> Yes, I've checked the channel (36, 5180) allows beaconing.
