>Description:
ahdemo does not work with if_ath properly. Cannot sniff or inject packets when attempting - it just returns to promp without any output.

Monitor mode is fine, but it can only sniff, no inject.

I used a PCMCIA card: DWL-G650
>How-To-Repeat:
Sniffing:
$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 wlanmode ahdemo 
$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 channel 6 up
$ sudo airodump-ng wlan0
$

Injection:
$sudo aireplay-ng -9 wlan0
$
>Fix:
People claim to have gotten if_ath to work with ahdemo, but for me it just enters mode ahdemo and can't sniff or inject.
