$iwlist ath0 scan Warning: Driver for device ath0 has been compiled with version 19 of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 18. Some things may be broken... Segmentation fault Once this segmentation fault happens the system becomes crazy for example, a. I cannot unmount /home partition after I execute the above command b. Any command starting with sudo just hangs there. The system is still responsive in the sense that I can open a konsole window or edit a file in gvim etc., I am using unstable $uname -a Linux kusumanchi 2.6.14-2-686-smp #2 SMP Fri Dec 9 10:20:41 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux $sudo dpkg -l wireless-tools madwifi-source Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-====================================-====================================-======================================================================================== ii madwifi-source 0.svn20051110-1 source for the Multiband Atheros Driver for WiFi (madwifi) ii wireless-tools 27+28pre11-1 Tools for manipulating Linux Wireless Extensions $lsmod | grep -sir ath ath_pci 84892 0 ath_rate_sample 16968 1 ath_pci wlan 152092 3 ath_pci,ath_rate_sample ath_hal 148560 3 ath_pci,ath_rate_sample lspci -vv gives 0000:02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc.

I am using madwifi drivers available from madwifi-source package. I do not know whether the segmentation fault (from iwlist scanning) is a problem with madwifi-source or wireless-tools. Initially I asked on debian-user (http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/12/msg02172.html) about this and have not received any response (as of filing this bug). thanks raju -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-2-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages wireless-tools depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libiw28 27+28pre8-1 Wireless tools - library wireless-tools recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
