I managed to get my atheros card in master mode with madwifi modules.

Code:

ath0    IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"gentoo"  Nickname:""
          Mode:Master  Frequency:2.422 GHz  Access Point: 00:19:E0:83:B3:64   
          Bit Rate:0 kb/s   Tx-Power:18 dBm   Sensitivity=1/1 
          Retry:off   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=28/70  Signal level=-68 dBm  Noise level=-96 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:512  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0


So I can associate from my laptop through wpa_supplicant.
But then I`m not able to ping the static ip of the ap.

Code:

modules_ath0=( "iwconfig" )
mode_ath0="Master"
essid_ath0="gentoo"
channel_ath0="3"
config_ath0=( "172.16.1.22 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 172.16.1.255" )


My laptop also has a static ip. So there is no dhcp problem. I tried dnsmasq too, but I couldn`t manage to recieve an ip from the ap.

Any help?
