Here is my problem on startup

Quote:
Bringing up interface ath0
Configuring wireless network for ath0
Only managed, ad-hoc, master and auto modes are supported
Failed to configure wireless for ath0
ERROR: net.ath0 failed to start


How do I fix this? I want "master mode"

What do you have inside /etc/conf.d/net because I think that the atheros driver doesn't like ifconfig or iwconfig at all.

Here is my /etc/conf.d/net (Keep in mind I am using baselayout 2.0.0 and using ethernet bridging)

Code:
config_eth0="66.11.182.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 66.11.182.255"

bridge_br0="eth1 ath0"
config_eth1="null"
config_ath0="null"
config_br0="192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
routes_br0="default via 192.168.0.1"
mode_ath0="Master"
essid_ath0="MyNetwork"

Should be "master" not "Master". It's case sensitive
