Binary package hint: aircrack-ng

Hello

airodump-ng doesn't work well with ath9k drivers.
No matter if you use one vif or more than one, with the command:

airodump-ng -c <channel number> <monitor interface>
sudo airodump-ng -w test -c 7 --bssid 00:11:22:33:44:55 mon0

you got something like:

 CH 7 ][ Elapsed: 12 s ][ 2010-07-07 11:33 ][ fixed channel mon0: -1
...

In the example airodump-ng was launched with -c 7 but airodump-ng says channel -1, and with aireplay-ng you got something like this:

sudo aireplay-ng --deauth 10 -a 00:11:22:33:44:55 -c 00:22:44:66:88:11 mon0
20:27:55 Waiting for beacon frame (BSSID: 00:11:22:33:44:55) on channel -1
20:27:55 mon0 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel 7

It could be related with the new channel handling:

I tested in ubuntu 10.04 & 10.10 but I always have the same problem.
I use a atheros ar5bxb92 wpea-110n.

Thank you
