v10 v11 7 7 The reason why there are two separate programs is that one controls the debugging output from the device (`ath`) specific part and the other one for the generic (`80211`) part. Remember: The 802.11 stack used by MadWifi (net80211) is derived from FreeBSD where it supports more wireless devices than just Atheros based. 8 8 9 Both programs have the same user interface and basically work by setting a bitmap in the driver enabling or disabling debugging output from various subsystems. Both also take an optional parameter `-i device` (e.g. -i wifi1) which can be om mitted if you use wifi0.9 Both programs have the same user interface and basically work by setting a bitmap in the driver enabling or disabling debugging output from various subsystems.

So it's usually better to only enable the output from the part you are inter rested in.148 '''Attention:''' Enabling all debugging output on smaller systems can make them very slow and sometimes unresponsive.

So it might sometimes be useful to use a script or write all commands in one line to enable debugging output, issue a short command and disable it again. E.g:
