Atheros Card support
Hello I am looking for a pci wireless card for my Freebsd router. According to the hardware notes for 6.2 "The ath(4) driver supports all Atheros Cardbus or PCI cards, except those that are based on the AR5005VL chipset." Does the ath driver support include AR5005GS or AR5006XS? It appears the chipset listed in the man page are no longer being used in being used. Can anyone suggest a card? I would like to avoid using the ndis driver. I have tried using it for two different card and was unsuccessful. Thank you, Aaron ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Atheros card
Hi all, I'm running freebsd 6.0 on a soekris box. I'm trying to configure it as a access point. %dmesg | grep ath0 ath0: mem 0xa001-0xa001 irq 11 at device 14.0 on pci0 ath0: Ethernet address: 00:02:6f:20:8f:4a ath0: mac 5.6 phy 4.1 5ghz radio 1.7 2ghz radio 2.3 If I configure ath0 in 11b mode, it works fine. However if I configure it in 11g mode or 11a mode, I no longer can connect to it, and my ssid disappears from my macs available access points option. My client is a mac os x 10.4. Here's the ifconfig output for autoselect, 11g and 11a which fails: %ifconfig ath0 media autoselect mode autoselect mediaopt hostap %ifconfig -v ath0 ath0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.2.187 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255 inet6 fe80::202:6fff:fe20:8f4a%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 ether 00:02:6f:20:8f:4a media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect ) status: associated ssid apname channel 36 (5180) bssid 00:02:6f:20:8f:4a authmode OPEN privacy OFF deftxkey UNDEF powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 txpowmax 28 txpower 60 rtsthreshold 2346 fragthreshold 2346 -pureg protmode CTS -wme ssid SHOW apbridge dtimperiod 1 bintval 100 %ifconfig ath0 mode 11g %ifconfig -v ath0 ath0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.2.187 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255 inet6 fe80::202:6fff:fe20:8f4a%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 ether 00:02:6f:20:8f:4a media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g status: associated ssid apname channel 1 (2412) bssid 00:02:6f:20:8f:4a authmode OPEN privacy OFF deftxkey UNDEF powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 txpowmax 36 txpower 60 rtsthreshold 2346 fragthreshold 2346 -pureg protmode CTS -wme ssid SHOW apbridge dtimperiod 1 bintval 100 %ifconfig ath0 mode 11a %ifconfig -v ath0 ath0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.2.187 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255 inet6 fe80::202:6fff:fe20:8f4a%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 ether 00:02:6f:20:8f:4a media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11a status: associated ssid apname channel 36 (5180) bssid 00:02:6f:20:8f:4a authmode OPEN privacy OFF deftxkey UNDEF powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 txpowmax 28 txpower 60 rtsthreshold 2346 fragthreshold 2346 -pureg protmode CTS -wme ssid SHOW apbridge dtimperiod 1 bintval 100 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Atheros card support in 5.2.1
Hello - I'm trying to get a card that's supported by madwifi drivers in Linux (atheros) to work in FreeBSD and eventually FreeSBIE. I've seen things posted in other threads that say that atheros cards are supported (at least some are) using the ath driver but in looking through my kernel configuration options I'm not seeing ath anywhere. I see an, awi, wi, and wl but no ath. Does anyone have any information about how to enable atheros support in 5.2.1??
