I thought I would update the list with some new info I have now that I
am running a PC engines alix2d2 and OpenBSD 4.5-stable.
When I received the alix board I just swapped the CF card out of my
Soekris net4501 and put it in the alix board. At that time I was running
OpenBSD 4.4-stable. After making the swap the ral card was still
behaving the same as it was before, so I decided to upgrade to 4.5 as I
was planning to do this anyhow.
After upgrading to 4.5 the ral card (SparkLan WMIR-200N) started working
just fine. I decided to check the changelog to see what had changed
since 4.4 and noticed:
Fix HW crypto on ral(4) devices.
Because my card has a RT2860 chip and the driver supports offloading of
encryption & decryption to the hardware, I suspect this could have been
the isse. The ral card is running in host-ap mode and has been working
flawlessly ever since. See dmesg below.
Cheers,
-Chris
