Bug ID: 255337
Summary: Atheros AR9462 Wireless problems
Product: Base System
Version: 13.0-RELEASE
Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: wireless
Assignee: wirel...@freebsd.org
Reporter: gma...@gufi.org
I have tried to install a fresh 13.0-RELEASE on a DELL Precision m4800.
The wifi card is a AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter that should be well
supported since FreeBSD 10-RELEASE.
During boot the card is identified correctly:
root@m4800:/home/gmarco # grep ath /var/run/dmesg.boot
ath0: <Atheros AR946x/AR948x> mem 0xf5000000-0xf507ffff at device 0.0 on pci5

root@m4800:/home/gmarco # pciconf -vl | grep -4 ath

ath0@pci0:5:0:0: class=0x028000 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x168c
device=0x0034 subvendor=0x1028 subdevice=0x020d
vendor = 'Qualcomm Atheros'
device = 'AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter'
class = network
The driver is ath0:
root@m4800:/home/gmarco # sysctl -a|fgrep antenna
dev.ath.0.rxantenna: 1
dev.ath.0.txantenna: 0
I have in /etc/rc.conf:
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
create_args_wlan0="country IT"
A simple /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf like:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=1
eapol_version=1
network={
ssid="sweetguest"
psk="mypsk"
}
After a reboot the card is in this way:
root@m4800:/home/gmarco # ifconfig wlan0
wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
ether 00:02:03:04:05:06

ssid "" channel 140 (5700 MHz 11a)

privacy MIXED deftxkey UNDEF txpower 23 bmiss 7 mcastrate 6 mgmtrate 6

parent interface: ath0
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect)
status: no carrier
nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
The "country IT" correctly set the card with /etc/regdomain.xml parameters.
NO IP is assigned and the card is deaf and dumb infact it is unable to find the
near wifi networks:
root@m4800:/home/gmarco # ifconfig wlan0 up scan
root@m4800:/home/gmarco #
In the messages I found:
Apr 22 13:51:24 m4800 kernel: ar9300_flash_map: unimplemented for now
Apr 22 13:51:24 m4800 kernel: ar9300_eeprom_restore_internal[4323] No vaid CAL,
calling default template
Apr 22 13:51:24 m4800 kernel: ar9300_hw_attach: ar9300_eeprom_attach returned 0
The MAC address is a bit strange too (?).
It seems the card is unable to transmit:
sysctl dev.ath.0.stats | fgrep -v :\ 0
dev.ath.0.stats.ast_tx_intr: 386
dev.ath.0.stats.ast_tx_raw: 306

I have tried to run the wpa_supplicant in debug mode:
root@m4800:/home/gmarco # wpa_supplicant -Dbsd -iwlan0 -dd

blablabla .....
But I am not good enough to understand if there is a problem here :)
The card works quite nicely in WIN10 and UBUNTU.
Thanks for any info/tips/ideas.
