Bugzilla Bug 121913

After reading this:
http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/autocreate
I'm not sure we need this line in the udev rules:
 KERNEL=="wifi[0-9]*", DRIVER=="ath_pci", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/sbin/wlanconfig
ath create wlandev %k wlanmode sta"
(at least my system seems to work without it.)

We can still provide that 65-madwifi.rules file with the access point
configuration line commented out...

Unconfirmed because I'm not sure I understand this VAP stuff entirely.

For some reason I can no longer assign to mobile@gentoo.org directly (new
bugzilla?) so I CC'd this to mobile@gentoo.org instead.

Correct, the udev rules are no longer needed :)

Fixed in net-wireless/madwifi-{driver,tools}-0.1443.20060207. Thank you for
reporting this.

Oh my. Good to know that the madwifi-ng team is trying to fix the issue for
themselves :)

Just a thought, but maybe a notification that the desired VAP operating mode
can be added to /etc/modules.d/ (as option autocreate=type) could be added to
the ebuild (since iwconfig athX mode does not work).

That is considered as basic knowledge. The ebuild already installs the files,
listing the available options.
