ath0 and RX packet errors [solved]

got wlan up with madwifi drivers but it seems the connection could be better
i noticed when i do ifconfig there are lots of packet errors
is this something to be concerned about and what can i do to resolve to this?

Re: ath0 and RX packet errors [solved]

had to reinstall the madwifi drivers after kernel upgrade and now the errors are gone. guess the first install was misconfigured
