Am I correct in inferring that recent versions of the ath driver
work with 802.11a access points? I just plugged in an IBM Cardbus
abg wifi card based on an atheros chipset and wificonfig -i ath0 scan
showed our 802.11a network whereas the the iwi interface built
into the machine doesn't:
[t43p:/]# wificonfig -i iwi0 scan
essid bssid type encryption signallevel
RSG-b 00:06:25:0e:e8:b0 access point wep 13
00:16:b6:c8:6f:ef access point wep 11
[t43p:/]# wificonfig -i ath0 scan
essid bssid type encryption signallevel
RSG-b 00:06:25:0e:e8:b0 access point wep 10
gcapba 00:02:2d:64:4e:0a access point none 4
RSG-a 00:06:25:0e:ce:53 access point wep 10
[t43p:/]#
Machine is running snv_62 with the OpenSolaris v0.5
iwi driver as the one included in snv_61 and snv_62
fails to work with the built-in Intel 2915ABG.
If 802.11a is now working with ath, will it (and WPA2) soon
work with iwi?
Thanks for all the wifi work - it makes using a notebook with
Solaris MUCH better (as does Cardbus). Now if the ACPI
interpreter would allow interrupt assignment to the PATA
interface in the docking station, just about everything would
work. Hopefully accelerated graphics for the ATI FireGL
chipset will be coming sometime :-)
