I have a atheros wiifi card on my Centos 5 that I use as a access point using hostapd. I noticed that after the upgrade to kernel 2.6.18-128 or above, the atheros driver comes with the kernel, ath5k, and it does´t let hostpad ou iwconfig set master mode on the card. Up to kernel 2.6.18-92 is workedd just fine using madwifi from rpmforge.
Any ideas on that?
Tks.

Try kmod-ath5k and kmod-mac80211 packages that are available from ELRepo.

Tks Phil, I will try that, for now, to use the newest kernel, I unload the ath5k modulo and load de ath_pci manually on boot and it works nicely.
