Re: ndis0: link down after idle time

That's what the kernel tells me during boot:
ath0: Atheros 5212 mem 0xde10-0xde10 irq 5 at device 9.0 on
pci0
ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 5ghz radio 4.6
ath0: Ethernet address: 00:0f:3d:ab:9a:b6
ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps
24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps

Mine is also identified as the 5212. But I saw that my hardware version
is B2 and the firmware versionn is 3.1.6.

You do not seem to be the only one with your problem:
This guy gets the same message as you did, but it is supposed to be
fixed:

According to this link an European B3 does not work with linux either:

BTW: Are you German? I just wondered because your SSID was deutschland
in your initial posting.

Sorry, I should read first and post afterwards :)
According to the drivers source HAL_STATUS 13 means Hardware revision
not supported.

 Hendrik - are you certain it is a rev. B3 with the ar5213 chipset? The
 ath driver on my box attempts to hook, but fails. I get these kernel
 messages:
 
 ath0: Atheros 5212 mem 0xd680-0xd68 0 irq 5 at device 10.0 on
 pci0
 ath0: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 13

Hi,

I use the same D_Link card as you do, although I use it successfully
with the native ath driver.

 I am running FreeBSD 5.3-stable and have had limited success with a
 d-link DWL-G520 card, rev B3 (atheros ar5213 chipset). I had hoped that
 I would have purchased a card with a supported native driver (ath),

You probably did ;)
 The card works well, albeit only in 802.11b 11mb/s adhoc mode,

I can reproduce this with the native driver. 11g is sometimes down to a
few kBit and 500-1000ms when I switch to 11b speed is ok and times are
25-40ms.


 that I can't figure out. After about an hour or so of idle time on the
 link, the interface brings itself down and cannot be resurrected unless
 I issue a command through ifconfig to bring the interface up again. Does
 anyone else experience this problem and/or have a solution? 

I will watch this - I do not remember exactly if there were such
problems.
