i've been running madwifi for about a year with no problems except it now seems to have broken on me...
When I try to go into monitor mode I get the following error message...
This could be related to this kernel message...
I just upgraded kernel from 2.6.20.3 to 2.6.21.4 and re-patched the kernel and it still not fixed it...
I've grabbed the latest kernel and madwifi versions but I don't want to use them if possible...
Anyone got any ideas?
When I try to go into monitor mode I get the following error message...
