Re: Atheros WIFI card can scan, but can't connect.
Please CC to [EMAIL PROTECTED] too if it works in the future... I had to use FreeBSD on this wireless machine for the time being. 2007/1/31, Ido Admon [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Have already tried that... I try again just for the sake of hoping it works... Any other ideas? From your dmesg: ath0 at pci1 dev 8 function 0 Atheros AR5212 rev 0x01: apic 2 int 12 (irq 12) ath0: AR5213 7.9 phy 4.5 rf2112a 5.6, FCC2A*, address 00:0f:b5:4f:3f:42 See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-miscm=114851461330633w=2 Or, to quote the essence of Reyk Floeter's answer in the above linked message: The rf2112 is an unsupported chipset... The diff he's proposed has been committed to -current since, as you can see for yourself, but it doesn't solve the problem (it just disables the RF radio not supported message and forces the rf chip to attach). I have the exact same issue with a D-Link DWL-G520. With the diff (I run 4.0 release) it attaches but fails to connect find any networks (and in AP mode other computers can't find any wireless networks). Is there hope of adding support for this chip in the future sometime? Thanks, Ido.

Atheros WIFI card can scan, but can't connect.
Hi, I am having trouble connecting to a wireless router with my Atheros WIFI card. (PCI) Running OpenBSD/AMD64 Current MP. (On current kernel supports my ath card.) dmesg can be found at http://www.sunnz.net/dmesg.txt (Tell me if you like an attachment instead) I have not yet made hostname.ath0, ifconfig (ath) itself does not seem to work. After boot up, log in, first thing I do is: # ifconfig ath0 nwid 624wn up; But when I check out if there is any connection (# ifconfig ath0): ath0: flags=8863UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 lladdr 00:0f:b5:4f:3f:42 groups: wlan media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (DS1) status: no network ieee80211: nwid 624w inet6 fe80::20f:b5ff:fe4f:3f42%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 No network? I have been told to scan using # ifconfig -M ath0: ath0: flags=8863UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 lladdr 00:0f:b5:4f:3f:42 groups: wlan media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (DS1) status: no network ieee80211: nwid 624w nwid pokgai chan 9 bssid 00:09:5b:d6:1c:1a 57% 54M privacy,short_preamble,pbcc,short_slottime nwid Wireless chan 11 bssid 00:0f:b5:d9:8f:14 14% 54M short_preamble,pbcc,short_slottime nwid 624wn chan 1 bssid 00:60:b3:5e:86:61 34% 54M short_preamble,pbcc,short_slottime inet6 fe80::20f:b5ff:fe4f:3f42%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 So my router is there: 624wn. BTW, the router is completely open, no WEP, no WPA, no encryption. It is running DHCP server. So I even tried # dhclient ath0: DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10 DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 16 DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10 DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 1 No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. So... I am stuck.
