Issue #2806 has been updated by lamaddox.
I had some trouble configuring my ath0 device, as well. The DFLY docs are a little outdated, and there are some discrepancies here and there. You'll find the FreeBSD docs mildly helpful. I'm running a Qualcomm Atheros AR9565. To get mine working, I installed wpa_supplicant from ports, and appended some things to my /etc/rc.conf: wpa_supplicant_program="/usr/local/sbin/wpa_supplicant" wpa_supplicant_flags="-B -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf" wlans_ath0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="wpa dhcp" Note that I am not doing any sort of ifconfig_ath0. Don't forget to edit your /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf for your wifi networks. Currently, I have tested connecting to open and wpa2 networks. Please modify your /etc/rc.conf (or manually execute the necessary commands) and then execute `service netif restart`. Then verify that you are still having connection issues. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2806: failed to configure a link-local address on ath0 (errno = 22) http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2806#change-12638 * Author: Chingyuan * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: Driver * Target version: 4.0.x ---------------------------------------- Hello, My Laptop's wireless device is "Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 rev 01".
