[Madwifi-devel] Need help with ath_mgtstart: discard, no xmit buf ...

Hello

First of all I know that madwifi is death (sadly to say that!!)

I've just downloaded the source from git and tried to compile with
kernel 2.6.23.
This will not work anymore beause client will connect/disconect always...
I'm really stucked because ath5k does not support well my cards I have
(10dbm lower than madwifi
and throughput 1/2 of madwifi) so I cannot go to ath5k with my 30
repeaters I have :-(

Madwifi worked fine the last 5 years :-) Now I have more and more
problems with
ath_mgtstart: discard, no xmit buf
which I almost never had.

It seems to me that interferences produce this error. The fact is that
the embedded board has 256MB but
it hangs up because of low memory or to put network traffic over this
repeater in this state...

This seems to be independent of the used cards because i have this issue
with Winstron CM9, SR5 and Compex WCLM54AGP23
So I try to fix this issue to go on with madwifi...
I have now downloaded the source of the version with worked so long for
me and want to solve this problem.

Is there any help any infos which could be the problem?
I have searched a lot of this issue but not found any solution.

Thanks for any help!!
