Hi All,

I'm currently trying to setup a new wireless access point using OpenBSD
3.8 and an Atheros AR5212 802.11a/b/g card. I'm having some trouble
getting the 11g portion working.

Currently if I bring the card up in 11g mode, I get repeated device
timeouts and the device never actually shows up in KisMac. If I force it
into 11b mode, I don't get any timeouts and it actually shows up.

When testing this, I also started to turn on debugging, and I found that
 the card finds several base stations when in 11b mode, but doesn't see
any in 11g mode.

Is this card not fully supported, is there something else I should try,
or do i have a broken card?

Thanks,

Jon Coller
