Hello
i try to use kamikaze7.07 in Z-Com 3121P (xscale be arm platform, ixp425 intel processor)
with minipci device "AG-621" (Atheros AR5212A chip)
Almost all works good, but madwifi driver starts, i configure it, and device cannot see AP.
Or if configured as AP - cannot see by another devices (stations)
The range to AP - 5 meters (this is a Z-com XG580 Plus with factory firmware).
This AP associated if I upload to ixp425 device the factory firmware (instead my own compiled firmware with madwifi).
For clean experiments - i set both (AP and Station) to 1th channel (2.412 GHz)
Also i try to swap settings on ap an station - anyway nothing happens - on ixp425 device "cannot see" another device.
Also i have found Atheros PCI card, and install to my computer with UBUNTU linux - and madwifi driver work fine, as station, or as AP, and fine connect to Z-com XG580.
But "cannot see" ixp425 device too.
Also i mark contact as here: http://www.minipci.biz/pin7.jpg - (rfkill)
"No scan results" too

I think, rf part does not work (not receive signal) with madwifi on ixp 425, why ?
