Hi Grant,
You won't like this and probably I'll get hammered, but... I stopped using a
lot of the gentoo startup scripts months ago, including the network stuff...
I simply add them to /etc/conf.d/locale.start. Much faster startup and much
more reliable in terms of setup anyways....
I do hate to hear that.
I can have the iwpriv settings executed with:
iwpriv_ath0=( "mode 3" "turbo 1" )
and I was told on the madwifi IRC channel that the 108Mbps rate won't
actually show up with "iwlist ath0 rate" because turbo just does
rate*2 down the line. I'm still wondering if turbo mode should work
with wpa_supplicant and if there is any way to determine if turbo mode
is actually functional on my system though.
