Public bug reported:
Just switched to Edgy, and running my Atheros based PCI wifi card as an
access point no longer works (it works under Dapper).
The problem in particular seems to be that switching to any mode other
than 'Managed' results in an error. for example:
sudo iwconfig ath0 mode Master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument.
here is the relevant bit from lspci:
