[Olsr-users] ath5k Driver

[Aaron Rosen]

Hello,

I know this isn't directly OLSR related but I'm having an ath5k issue. I
have access to a network that consist of 100 nodes each with a wifi
interface. I've configured the wireless interface's on these nodes as such:

iwconfig wlan0 ap 00:11:22:33:44:55
iwconfig wlan0 essid "testtest"
iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc

After that is all done I tell all of the nodes to ping this one node at a
very slow ping rate (1 packet every 5 seconds). At this node I check his arp
table and he has an entry for all of the nodes. Though after this runs for
about 10 minutes all of the nodes in the network can no longer ping this one
node, and all of the other nodes can not ping each other.

dmesg reports the following messages (on all the nodes), I'm also  running:
compat-wireless-2.6.37-4.

Any advice here?

Thanks,

Aaron
