Running airodump on ubuntus 2.6.30 kernel works as expected. The
2.6.32 kernel shipped in lucid never sees data packets.
I have narrowed it down to channel hopping. modprobing the driver and
starting mon0 on a fixed channel works as expected, but allowing
airodump to channel hop breaks the interface until the driver is
reset.
I wrote a script to download and build compat wireless starting from
2009-01-01 (granted everything fails until half way through october),
but every version that is successfully installed also show the same
bug.
Further instructions welcome.

Try checking out linux-2.6, and doing a bisect between 2.6.30 and 2.6.32.

Yes, you need to check out the entire repo - but with git, you do not
need to re-download the whole tree everytime you check out a new
revision; it is a distributed system. git is not CVS. :-)

Do I have to check out the entire kernel? even with scripting my
netbook would take forever to do this.
