Hi,
I've got a D-Link DWL-G650 (H/W C2, F/W 3.1.6) PCMCIA wifi-card lying
around here for some time. I haven't had tested it by now, but out of
curiousity I was searching for some info yesterday why it wouldn't work
on OpenBSD (though it seemed to be recognized as ath1, AR5212, but not
registered at all).
Due to some hints in a former posting I set the COUNTRYCODE in
/usr/src/sys/dev/ic/ar5xxx.c to "de" and rebuilt the kernel. Well, it
seems to work perfectly now.
I wonder what this countrycode-thingy means that it enables a card that
didn't work before? I couldn't find any good information about that
except that it seems to enable some country-specific frequencies.
Anybody that can provide more in-deep knowledge or pointers?
I'm using -current, the machine is a Thinkbook X40.
Thanks in advance,
/Markus
