My legacy ThinkPad died so I've resurrected a legacy HP notebook to
replace it for the time being and the built-in ath can't see my 2.4GHz
SSIDs (behavior doesn't change when the SSID's channel changes).
While it does see my 5GHz SSID most of the time, connectivity is very
problematic and, when it eventually connects, there's a lot of packet
loss. FWIW, the AP is from Ruckus and all my varied wireless devices
connect to it without issue (this AP works better than my previous
Cisco AP, but this is the first time I've installed OpenBSD on this
notebook).
Any thoughts appreciated. The relevant details are below and the
dmesg contains information from a fresh reboot and nothing else was
done with ath. In the case below, connectivity to the AP failed to be
established. I can also provide the debug output when it occasionally
connects (I can see the association and 4-way handshake, but there's
nothing after that and packet loss varies greatly). c0:8a:de:1e:44:*
is the MAC of the AP.
