--- Comment #17 from ohart...@zedat.fu-berlin.de ---
In /etc/rc.conf there are the following wlan-specific config:

[...]
wlans_ath0="wlan0"  # wlan(4) interfaces for ath0 device
ifconfig_wlan0="inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 0xff00"
create_args_wlan0="wlanmode hostap ssid Huette mode 11n country de"

[...]

Also, gateway (ip forwarding) is enabled - if this matters.

As of CURRENT FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #12 r297859: Tue Apr 12 18:06:38 CEST 2016
amd64, the hostap with this specific WiFi NIC doesn't work - still.

--- Comment #15 from ohart...@zedat.fu-berlin.de ---
@Adrian Chadd: My Laptop is a customised CURRENT (custimised kernel), but it is
a simple "client" to the server providing WiFi access via hostapd and the
mentions Atheros-based WiFi boadr (PCIe card, three antennas). I think the
setup of the laptop is irrelevant, since I have the strange behaviour also with
other, older laptops I used around here and, as an extra, a smartphone
(Motorola Moto G) which WiFi also reject to work.

The association to the AP is on all devices successful: they obtain an IP from
the isc-dhcpd residing on the AP-hosting server. But then no traffic is
possible anymore. I disabled the ipwf on all sides if possible. It is even not
possible to ping the address of the AP from any station.

This is the AP's kernel config portion for WLAN:

# WLAN

# Wireless NIC cards
device  wlan# 802.11 support
options IEEE80211_DEBUG # enable debug msgs
options IEEE80211_AMPDU_AGE # age frames in AMPDU reorder q's
options IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH  # enable 802.11s draft support
device  wlan_wep# 802.11 WEP support
device  wlan_ccmp   # 802.11 CCMP support
device  wlan_tkip   # 802.11 TKIP support
device  wlan_amrr   # AMRR transmit rate control algorithm
device  wlan_xauth  # AMRR transmit rate control algorithm
#
device  ath # Atheros NICs
device  ath_pci # Atheros pci/cardbus glue
device  ath_hal # pci/cardbus chip support
#device ath_acl # MAC access list support (can not be built
into kernel!)
options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416   # enable AR5416 tx/rx descriptors
options AH_AR5416_INTERRUPT_MITIGATION  # AR5416 interrupt mitigation
options ATH_ENABLE_11N  # Enable 802.11n support for AR5416 and later
#
device  ath_rate_sample # SampleRate tx rate control for ath


802.11n seems not to work on FreeBSD, although the used WiFi AP card support
ist as well as the Intel WiFi chipset 7260 (if_iwm).

I compiled /usr/src/tools/tools/ath and installed as requested.

Put the AP's WiFi into debug mode via:

 [~] wlandebug -i wlan0 auth+assoc+state
net.wlan.0.debug: 0xc8
[~] killall -HUP hostapd
 [~] athstats 1
   input   output altrate   shortlong xretry crcerr crypt  phyerr rssi 
rate
athstats: ath_driver_req_fetch_stats: ioctl: Device not configured

Something is missing.

How can I deinstall /usr/src/tools/tools/ath? A make deinstall doesn't work.

hiya,

I have a variety of devices hanging off a QCA955x MIPS SoC + 2.4GHz 3x3 11n. So
far so good.

Yeah, please share more details about your laptop setup. Bridge, what has IPs,
how are you starting hostapd, etc.

I tried to bisect, but the box is not the fastest, even compiling things with
-DNO_CLEAN.

@A. Chadd: I'll do as requested at the weekend and report the results back as
soon as possible.

hiya,

ok. can you compile the ath tools (cd /usr/src/tools/tools/ath ; make ; make
install) and then run 'athstats 1' for about 10 seconds?

I'd like to see whether it's doing things like sending data, beacons, etc.

Are you running the dhcp server on the laptop too? What's the bridge
configuration for this box?

Thanks!

means that association was successful. Is there any problems with other
clients?

P.S. Looks like inactivity processing (with timeout in 205 seconds and this
weird reason code (1 = unspecified)).

(In reply to ohartman from comment #3)

Ok, sorry (this doesn't work with hostap mode) - just apply that manually &
restart the interface:

1) wlandebug -i wlan0 auth+assoc+state
2) killall -HUP hostapd

(wlandebug_wlan0 record can be removed).

Hi,

Can you add 'wlandebug_wlan0="auth+assoc+state"' into rc.conf (and attach
resulting log file)? This may give more info about what happens with AP.

hi,

can you narrow down when it happened? A bunch of wifi infrastructure changed
then and i have been too preoccupied with life(tm) lately to be able to keep on
top of things and regularly test things.

(Which will change Very Soon Now, thankfully..)

Bug ID: 207445
   Summary: net80211 Atheros AR938x: non-working WiFi hostap since
~ January
   Product: Base System
   Version: 11.0-CURRENT
  Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: New
  Severity: Affects Some People
  Priority: ---
 Component: wireless
  Assignee: freebsd-wireless@FreeBSD.org
  Reporter: ohart...@zedat.fu-berlin.de

CC: freebsd-am...@freebsd.org

Running CURRENT (FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #15 r295926: Tue Feb 23 17:20:59 CET
2016) with a TP-Link PCIe WiFi adaptor TP-Link TL-WDN4800 N900 based on
Qualcomm Atheros AR938x chipset. I used this adaptor as AccessPoint with
CURRENT successfully over Christmas 2015 using both laptops and smartphone
WiFi. This doesn't work anymore since ~ mid-January after updating the system's
world and kernel.

I haven't found out what the exact reason is, but as far as I can describe is
that the client still receives its IP via DHCP (isc-dhcp43-server-4.3.3P1_1   
net/isc-dhcp43-server). Then authetication (via hostapd) fails.
