Alright, I've finally managed to get everything built and loaded. As I mentioned before, this is HEAD at r248944. I have a Sony Vaio SVT1312 Ultrabook with an Atheros AR9485 wireless card (I _think_ it is also responsible for providing the Bluetooth stuff as well, but I'm not sure). I use this laptop at home to connect to a WPA2 ADSL router. Connecting to it using wpa_supplicant did work, but most of the packages are lost and the ones which actually get through do so with a very high latency. Meanwhile, my terminal gets spammed with the following: ath0: ath_edma_recv_proc_queue: handled npkts 0 ar9300_reset[4366]: ar9300_stop_dma_receive failed Please let me know what other additional information you may need. ___ freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-wireless-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-wireless-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Indeed, booting with hw.physmem=4G makes the connection much more reliable -- I do see some of those warnings in the beginning, but they go away after the connection is established. Yup. Those warnings are fine. I need to trace that down and fix it but it's fine if it happens only whilst scanning. My gut feeling is that the average connection speed is still below the one I get when I use my WLAN-Ethernet adapter, but I haven't done any precise measurements to back that up. It's still a work in progress! WHat's the signal strength? (ifconfig wlan0 list sta gives that to you.) On a side note: this card is also supposed to provide Bluetooth support, right? Is any of your work going to help with that as well? Well, bluetooth support will work: * when ath3kfw is patched to include the ability to select an arbitrary USB device id; * when we include the updated ath3k firmware images in the base system. I have the relevant NICs here (AR9462+BT, AR9485+BT) but I haven't yet sat down and tested the bluetooth side. Mostly because I want to focus on wifi, not bluetooth. I haven't yet sat down and figured out the bluetooth coexistence thing yet either. The code is in there, it's just not enabled. So if you load the firmware it'll bring up bluetooth but it and 2GHz wifi will interfere.

[rft] ar9300 HAL updated
Hi, I've just updated the AR9300 HAL to the March 13 snapshot from QCA. This includes calibration and TX power calibration changes that may improve stability. As always, it's possible I broke something! I'd appreciate it if people would test this in STA and AP mode. Thanks!
