Re: problem with ral in hopstap mode on -current
Please, somebody who has a reliable way to reproduce this, search for the commit which broke it... use cvs up -D to get a date-based checkout. Given 4.6 works, 4.7 doesn't and looking at net80211 commits, I would start with a kernel from a checkout dated just before and just after 2010/02/17 (r1.56 of sys/net80211/ieee80211_node.c)..

problem with ral in hopstap mode on -current
Hi, I ran a soekris box as AP, and recently upgraded it from a very old 4.2, to 5.0 -current.

Re: problem with ral in hopstap mode on -current
My former access point was an OpenBSD 4.7 laptop and I experienced exactly the same problems with at least acx(4) and ath(4). Upgrading to 5.0 did not provide a solution. I recently installed 5.0 on a box with a ral(4) PCI-card but the problem persisted. However: installing the same PCI ral(4) card on an older box running OpenBSD 4.6 DID solve it, indicating that the problem might have been introduced at some level from 4.7 onward?
