I've been using a Net 4501 for several years now (since at least
OpenBSD 3.8) with no problems. I've recently added a mini-PCI
Wistron CM9 (ath 5212). Very soon after bringing the interface up,
I get all sorts of channel reset and wake up errors.
Before I start going crazy with posting all sorts of diagnostic
info, I'm wondering if the first thing I should look at is my power
supply. I've used a 12V 1.2A since the beginning, but have not ever
used the PCI or mini-PCI slots.
Could my Net 4501, with the addition of the mini-PCI card, now be
starved for electrons?

Well, I finally dug out a couple of other power supplies (5V 2.5A and
12V 1.5A) and I'm still having problems. I've tried a few things with
no luck. Most of the time the Soekris eventually hangs, sometimes with
no messages and other times with the following repeating on the
console with the Soekris hung (until I reboot it):
ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3534594048
ar5k_ar5212_nic_wakeup: failed to resume the AR5212 (again)
ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3534594048
ar5k_ar5212_nic_wakeup: failed to resume the AR5212 (again)
etc...
Here's what I've tried:
/etc/hostname.ath0 (taken directly from ath(4)):
inet 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 NONE media autoselect mediaopt
hostap nwid my_net chan 11
After reboot or "sh /etc/netstart ath0", ifconfig ath0 shows:
ath0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>
mtu 1500
lladdr 00:0b:6b:de:1d:a1

hostap)

inet6 fe80::20b:6bff:fede:1da1%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
My macbook pro can see "my_net" and I have dhcpd serving on ath0 but
never get an IP. /var/log/messages shows:
Feb 21 23:06:10 foo /bsd: ath0: ath_chan_set: unable to reset
channel 11 (2462 MHz)
I've also tried "ifconfig ath0 scan". It seems to see nothing and I'm in
an urban area where I generally see 10 to 12 APs.
I'm not sure what to do next to debug this. Any help will be greatly
appreciated. dmesg is below.
Thanks,
Daniel
