Hello All! I have Lenovo G455 notebook with FreeBSD 8.1 installed on it.
Notebook has an Atheros AR9285 WiFi card that normally attaches to the ath driver. But i cant to enable it. I do the following steps: 1) Turn on WiFi switch on the notebook front panel; 2) Powerup notebook - WiFi led is on; 3) System loads BIOS, bootmanager, FreeBSD system boot loader - WiFi led is on; 4) System starts kernel booting - and WiFi led turns off within kernel loading process (probably when acpi driver is loading); 5) Dmesg and ifconfig - shows successfully attached ath device; 6) I enter following commands: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 - wlan0 device is created; ifconfig wlan0 up scan - and this command hangs - probably that the WiFi is disabled; 7) I tried to enable/disable WiFi front panel switch, push Fn+F5 (wifi enable conbination) - the WiFi led is still off; Can you help me to enable it? Thanks for any advice. Mikhail. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
