Hi all, After seeing Casper's posting about the bcmndis driver being a bit iffy after build 40-something, and a desire to try to stick to stuff that's supported out of the box as much as possible, I recently replaced my Ferrari 3400's mini-PCI wifi card with an Atheros-based one, specifically the Wistron CM9.
After powering up the laptop (and issuing a devfsadm for good measure), I tried plumbing ath0: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ifconfig ath0 plumb No immediate errors, but shortly thereafter, I get repeated messages on the console from the ath driver: ath: ieee80211_recv_auth(): authentication failed (reason 1) for 00:13:10:xx:xx:xx (What's reason 1?) Issuing a scan gives questionable results too: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wificonfig -i ath0 scan essid bssid type encryption signallevel wifi-gw 00:13:10:xx:xx:xx access point none 0 2WIRE200 00:18:3f:aa:9d:49 access point WEP 0 default 00:13:46:14:b2:0c access point none 0 Heeter 00:13:46:46:c3:c2 access point WEP 0 Sunvalley 00:16:b6:18:cc:de access point WEP 0 The signal for my access point (wifi-gw) at least should be much higher than 0; 10 would be more usual! I've tried wiring up the antenna wires both ways (i.e., I've connected each to the Main and Aux terminals), with no changes. The only other piece of pertinent info I can think of is that my access point only allows connections from the list of permitted MAC addresses. I've added the MAC address of the new card to that list and checked it several times. Does this ring any bells with anyone? (BTW, an upgrade to the current build is on the books, but I was hoping to test the new wifi card first.)
