Кто знает как ее включить в режим Access Point?
вот попытка:

sva@tau-ceti:~$ sudo iwconfig ath0 mode master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument.

Работает только в режиме managed другие никак не включаются
драйвера стоят - AR5007EG-Madwifi3745-AircrackPatched-HAL10.5.6.tar.gz , откопал где то на форумах убунту по идее как раз под этот чипсет, до этого ставил madwifi trunk - не помогло
Может кто сталкивался?
