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 p.s. please cc me in the reply, as majordomo doesn't seem to want to process my list subscription Relevant Files: /etc/hostname.ath0 inet 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 NONE media
