Re: Thinkpad T60 with Atheros working only after restart from Windows
Hi Adrian, I tried with -HEAD liveCD as proposed by Vincent and ghostbsd live cd but the situation is the same. I feel like I am missing something. On one hand I can scan the wireless networks and the wifi card seems to be working. On the other hand I cannot attach as the ath device times out (which according to the ath man pages should not occur). I also tried to encrypt the psk phrase with pwa_passphrase but with no success either. I tested with Kali linux live cd and the wireless was working fine. I also noticed that if I shutdown Windows and then start FreeBSD then the wifi also behaves the same way - ath0: device timed out. Only restart from Windows or restart from FreeBSD with working wifi can make the wifi work again. Do you have any other proposals?

Re: Thinkpad T60 with Atheros working only after restart from Windows
Can you please paste the vmstat -i output?

Hi,
After restart from Windows and working wireless the number of interrupts
increases and the rate increases. After next restart (the ath0 times out)
the interrupts increase but the rate is going down.
I noticed that after restart from Windows and working wifi if I restart
/etc/rc.d/netif the wifi is working again. If I shutdown wlan0 and bring it
up again then I wlan0 doesn't get address but ath0 is not timing out. I can
still get a list with the available APs around.
Regards,
Lyubo

Ok, this should be working. I frequently test (read: every other day)
with the AR5416. But you're not the first person to report this bug.
Unfortunately when this happens, the interrupts aren't actually making
it to the OS.
Can you check the output of vmstat -i whilst you're doing it? The ath0
counter should be increasing.
