DanJ - My Bits

This is for all those out there trying to figure out why rtap0 is stuck on channel 0 while the AP channel is using some other channel.

The secret is to set the channel when bringing up the interface: modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1 channel=x

It worked for me

Finally, I think I got it working.

All you need to do is follow these instructions (carefully)

I had some linux clients that weren’t updating the DNS records. Turns out they were not sending their hostname. A fix is found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-549612.html

Still one of my servers kept “loosing” it’s dns record. Turns out the nagios check-dhcp was causing the problem, so I just disabled this test.
