Yes, as you speculate, the 802.11 software had a major rework and only the
wlan interface is visible. It is due to this re-work that the changes to
the wireless drivers can't be reasonably back-ported to 10.

Uppercase RE matching problems in FreeBSD 11

2016-11-05 Thread Greg Rivers 
I happened to run an old script today that uses sed(1) to extract the 
system boot time from the kern.boottime sysctl MIB. On 11.0 this no longer 
works as expected:


$ sysctl kern.boottime
kern.boottime: { sec = 1478380714, usec = 145351 } Sat Nov  5 16:18:34 2016
$ sysctl kern.boottime | sed -e 's/.*\([A-Z].*\)$/\1/'
v  5 16:18:34 2016

sed passes over 'S' and 'N' until it hits 'v', which it considers 
uppercase apparently. This is with LANG=en_US.UTF-8. If I set LANG=C, it 
works as expected:


$ sysctl kern.boottime | LANG=C sed -e 's/.*\([A-Z].*\)$/\1/'
Nov  5 16:18:34 2016

Testing every lowercase character separately gives even more inconsistent 
results:


$ cat <
a
b
c
d
e
f
g
h
i
j
k
l
m
n
o
p
q
r
s
t
u
v
w
x
y
z
!

b
c
d
e
f
g
h
i
j
k
l
m
n
o
p
q
r
s
t
u
v
w
x
y
z

Here sed thinks every lowercase character except for 'a' is uppercase! 
This differs from the first test where sed did not think 'o' is uppercase. 
Again, the above behaves as expected with LANG=C.


Does anyone have any insight into this? This is likely to break a lot of 
existing code.

Okay, I downloaded and installed 11.0-RELEASE on a spare slice, and
dmesg tells me the following (with regard to ath0):


ath0:  mem 0xf0a0-0xf0a7 irq 36 at
device 0.0 on pci2
ath0: WB335 2-ANT card detected
ath0: Bluetooth Antenna Diversity card detected
ath0: [HT] enabling HT modes
ath0: [HT] enabling short-GI in 20MHz mode
ath0: [HT] 1 stream STBC receive enabled
ath0: [HT] 1 RX streams; 1 TX streams
ath0: QCA9565 mac 704.1 RF5110 phy 2523.1
ath0: 2GHz radio: 0x; 5GHz radio: 0x

But ifconfig tells me there is no "ath0" interface ... Does 11.0
handle wifi in some unfamiliar manner?  I put my usual wifi magic
into rc.conf:

create_args_wlan0="country US"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
