 Thanks!

 In the debug log I see the line:
 ath0: ieee80211_scan_update: no scanner suppport for mode 8
  From source code I see that mode 8 is IEEE80211_M_MONITOR.
 As I understand in 'monitor' mode no packets are being sent or received.

In monitor mode packets can be only received.
The question is why you are using monitor mode at all ...

 When I try to turn it off with 'ifconfig ath0 -monotor' interface
 still seems to stay in monitor mode.

 Why wouldn't -monitor turn monitor mode off?

How to troubleshoot why ath0 can't connect to a passwordless wireless network?

2009-02-09 Thread Yuri
I have a wireless network without password that my linux box easily  
connects to.


On FreeBSD 'ifconfig ath0 up scan' command shows it. 'ifconfig ath0  
ssid my-ssid up' brings interface to 'associated' state. But  
dhclient fails set it up.


I have another device on the same system: ral0. It connect to this  
network without problems.


What can I do to understand what may be a problem with ath0 in my case?

Yuri

Perhaps it is just a typo but shouldn't it be 'ifconfig ath0 -monitor' 
instead of 'ifconfig ath0 -monotor'
