Oh, you're right, I guess I didn't notice that before. In any case, it doesn't appear to cause any problems for me either. It's just an annoying error message. Kevin On Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 12:42 PM, Celejar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, 18 Sep 2008 12:06:10 -0700 > "Kevin Mitchell" <[EMAIL

When you run dhclient without arguments, it tries to get an ip address on any of the interfaces listed with /sbin/ifconfig minus the lo interface. If you take a look at that output with the ath9k module loaded, you'll see a "wmaster0" interface. My understanding is that this is a kind of abstractio

Sorry if I used the wrong notation, that was 25 Mbits/s ~ 3.2 Mbytes/s which is only slightly faster that 11g so it's not that "wow", but an improvement nonetheless. What modules is module assistant trying to build? The headers shouldn't be a problem. If you've compiled your own kernel, just make
