Hi, I recently got a Dell Wireless 1450 USB and am now trying to put it
into master mode, but to no avail... I've tried this:

./iw phy phy6 interface add dell type (master|ap)

but both just give me the help. Trying to add a device in e.g. monitor
or managed mode works. If I then try

iwconfig dell mode master

I get

Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device dell ; Invalid argument.

Now I'm pretty much out of ideas. Is it actually possible to get this
into master mode? :|

PS: Same results with ubuntu hardy's 2.6.24-22-generic kernel and debian
lenny's 2.6.26-1-486.
