Installed NetBSD 7.0_BETA (GENERIC.201411140020Z) i386 on an old laptop. Trying to get the wifi card work. Get the following error continuously.
ath0: device timeout (txq 1, txintrperiod 1) There is an old thread in NetBSD mailing list and my problem seems to be the same. Unfortunately those threads seem inconclusive. https://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2011/06/13/msg008415.html Note: This may not be specific to 7.0. I have not tried this hardware with any older version. Also note: The interface ath0 gets created only if I boot with no acpi. This is a separate problem in itself, not sure whether related to the above problem. The interface did come up (status: active) one or two times while experimenting. At that time the error messages had stopped. I am not able to figure out exactly what makes it come up or it's totally random. I am using stock wpa_supplicant with WPA2-PSK authentication, if that matters. There are 4 other devices on same wifi network, 2 of which run a similar NetBSD setup without any problems. Mayuresh
