Unable to put WCF12 card into master mode

[Mazen.Arakji at colorado.edu]

Sorry!  That was a typo.  Here's whats really happening:


root at h3900:~# iwconfig wlan0 mode master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
root at h3900:~#


I can switch between managed, ad-hoc, monitor, and repeater with no problem. 
Here's my output from lsmod:
