In $SRCDIR/sys/dev/usb I see, among many other source-code files, if_athn_usb.c if_athn_usb.h Device falls under athn. You can do man athn. NetBSD man pages are online at http://man.netbsd.org/ which redirects to http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?++NetBSD-current Tom ___ 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"
Re: AR934x initial support is now in the tree
oh, it's the athn port from openbsd. Sure, if someone ports the USB glue from that over, but glues it into our ath driver and ath_hal code, I'll commit it. The only bits are: * usb probe/attach * usb command send/receive * basic register read/write ops * HTC commands (new station, del station, rate control setup, etc.) if someone gets the first three done I'll help massage the rest of the ath driver to work with the USB nics. But, you should start on an AR7010 NIC as the AR9271 requires USB _AND_ HAL changes. I don't mind porting the HAL changes over (there aren't many) but I'd rather have the USB bits working before I try that. -adrian ___ 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"

Where in their repo is the AR9271 support? -adrian On 16 October 2013 14:18, Thomas Mueller wrote: > > The AR9271 is a USB-connected AR9285, for all intents and purposes. > > > So it would use ath(4), if ath(4) had the required USB glue. > > > Sorry. > > > > -adrian > > NetBSD-current seems to support AR9271, so maybe the required USB glue is > not too far away? > > I haven't set it up yet, so can't see if it really works. > > So far, I use NetBSD-current amd64 with subversion built from pkgsrc to > checkout and update FreeBSD source tree. > > NetBSD-current amd64 works with Realtek 8111E Ethernet on MSI Z77 MPOWER > motherboard, while FreeBSD fails to connect. > > Otherwise, I can try to set up wifi through rsu or ndis, or see if ndis > can work with Realtek 8111E Ethernet. > > Tom > > ___ 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"

I haven't set it up yet, so can't see if it really works. So far, I use NetBSD-current amd64 with subversion built from pkgsrc to checkout and update FreeBSD source tree. NetBSD-current amd64 works with Realtek 8111E Ethernet on MSI Z77 MPOWER motherboard, while FreeBSD fails to connect. Otherwise, I can try to set up wifi through rsu or ndis, or see if ndis can work with Realtek 8111E Ethernet.

Re: AR934x initial support is now in the tree
The AR9271 is a USB-connected AR9285, for all intents and purposes. So it would use ath(4), if ath(4) had the required USB glue.

Re: AR934x initial support is now in the tree
> The initial AR934x support is now in the tree. Is there any relation between AR934x chip and AR9271? MSI M77 MPOWER motherboard has this chip (quasi-USB wireless) as well as Realtek 8111E Ethernet which doesn't work with FreeBSD or OpenBSD but good with NetBSD-current and Linux. I'd like to know if there is any work on this (AR9271) chip, or what subgroup it belongs to. I'm also trying to set up with Hiro H50191 USB-stick-type wifi adapter (device rsu), have never set up wifi before. What reading do I need to do?
