Re: 11n support (more speed) on Intel 3160 - is it better on 7260 or 8260?

2016-07-13 Thread Sydney Meyer via freebsd-wireless 
Hi,

there is no 11-CURRENT anymore.. There is a commit to 12.0-CURRENT which 
imports OpenBSD's iwm Driver for newer Intel Chipsets.

I know that. But, unfortunately, not everybody seems to know and therefore be 
able to appreciate this fact, as one can read sometimes on some superficial 
sites and forums. Actually, i have seen you in talks asking for Hardware 
Donations and i was quite surprised that the development of e.g. a new wireless 
driver struggles already at the fact that one single, capable and willing 
developer has problems getting even one single device for which he/she wants to 
write a driver for. In other words, you provide, at least in my opinion, an 
enormous benefit to the project for free, but it still costs you money, and 
because of this state, i can imagine, sometimes nerves too.

Yes, this is my bad. I got confused about it appearing on the 12.0-CURRENT 
Release Notes. It should have been clear to me as the OP indeed already wrote, 
he is using iwn on 11-CURRENT.

Sorry for the fuzz.

Adrian: Perhaps is it because you're constantly working FreeBSD Wireless like 
bwn and other drivers that people think, yeah, this guy must be getting paid 
from the Foundation:)

ath (AR9280) with nanoBSD

2016-06-29 Thread Sydney Meyer via freebsd-wireless 
Hello,

i seem to be unable to get the ath driver working on a PC Engines APU 2C2 Board 
with a Compex WLE200NX (AR9280) MiniPCIe-Card booting from a NanoBSD Image 
built from HEAD.

I have built the NanoBSD Image without any BUILD, INSTALL or WORLD options and 
with a GENERIC-NODEBUG Kernel.

I can see the Card in dmesg with

root@:~ # dmesg | grep ath
ath0:  mem 0xfe80-0xfe80 at device 0.0 on pci4
[ath] enabling AN_TOP2_FIXUP
ath0: [HT] enabling HT modes
ath0: [HT] 1 stream STBC receive enabled
ath0: [HT] 1 stream STBC transmit enabled
ath0: [HT] 2 RX streams; 2 TX streams
ath0: AR9280 mac 128.2 RF5133 phy 13.0
ath0: 2GHz radio: 0x; 5GHz radio: 0x00c0

and pciconf -lv shows

ath0@pci0:4:0:0:class=0x028000 card=0x3099168c chip=0x002a168c rev=0x01 
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Qualcomm Atheros'
device = 'AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)'
class  = network

and

root@:~ # kldstat -v | grep ath
89 pci/ath_pci

but the Card doesn't show up with ifconfig.

When booting from USB with 
FreeBSD-11.0-ALPHA5-amd64-20160624-r302164-memstick.img the Card is getting 
recognised regularly with ifconfig as ath0.

Hi Adrian,

awesome, it's working fine now.. Thanks a bunch for this hint, i have been 
rebuilding world and kernel a lot last few days and haven't been able to figure 
it out, eventually ripping all options out and building a stock image, which 
"seemingly" dind't work either, so thanks again.

Also, thank you very, very much for your ongoing work on all the FreeBSD 
Wireless Drivers you are working on.

Cheers..

Sydney
