Hello,
I am running Debian 5.0 Lenny with a 2.6.32 kernel. I have a D-Link
DWA-552 which is being reported as an Atheros AR9280+AR5133 in my dmesg output.
I think it's a newer version of the DWA-552 because I see the DWA-552 listed
with the 5416 Atheros chip on your site.
I had hoped to use this wireless adapter in master mode, but when I run:
iwconfig wlan0 mode master
I get the following error:
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
I have been able to switch the adapter into Managed, Monitor, and
Ad-Hoc modes. Secondary mode gives the same error as master. Repeater gives
"Operation not supported".
Looking through your site it sounds like master mode is supported. Am
I doing something wrong?
Here is some output I thought you might want:
