Are you using madwifi-ng from upstream trunk? Or the version provided by
the debian package?

Hi,
Thanks for the responses. I'm using the Debian package (as stated in the
original bug report) which uses the old codebase.
Thanks, for clarifying. For a brief moment I suspected you may have been
using upstream madwifi-ng :-)
Matt Brown's comment that
The message is caused by /etc/network/if-post-down.d/wireless-tools
attempting to run iwconfig "$IFACE" mode auto which of course fails on
madwifi as it does not allow interface mode changes.
The best solution imo would be to fix madwifi so that it did allow mode
changes, but I can't see that happening anytime soon as I understand it
would involve rewriting half the driver.
is not correct for the old codebase; issuing 'mode master' followed by 'mode
managed', for example, works fine. His point may be true for the new codebase,
though; I think I remember seeing something to that effect on madwifi.org.
Indeed, Matt's statements were about madwifi-ng, I think. And it is good
he brought it up, as the madwifi-ng codebase could be entering debian
any time soon.
I'll make a suggestion for the docs within a day or so.
Thanks!
Kel.
