The card works great under Windows but when ath0 starts up in FreeBSD, it gets the following errors which renders the card useless until I restart and choose a particular channel specified with ifconfig in /etc/rc.conf that is not channel 8 or 12. I have read another post somewhat similar to mine, but I have not had any luck resolving it. Any help is very much appreciated. I am on FreeBSD 6.2 ... this is also with a Linksys WRT54GX2 V2 wireless G router. /var/log/messages (over and over again) # Mar 16 23:41:02 laptop kernel: ath0: unable to reset hardware; hal status 12 # Mar 16 23:41:12 laptop kernel: ath0: unable to reset hardware; hal status 0 # dmesg laptop kernel: ath0: mem 0xefcf0000-0xefcfffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci11 laptop kernel: ath0: Ethernet address: 00:11:f5:c2:2b:05 laptop kernel: ath0: mac 10.3 phy 6.1 radio 10.2 # ifconfig ath0 list channels Channel 1 : 2412* Mhz 11g Channel 16 : 5080 Mhz 11a Channel 2 : 2417* Mhz 11g Channel 36 : 5180 Mhz 11a Channel 3 : 2422* Mhz 11g Channel 40 : 5200 Mhz 11a Channel 4 : 2427* Mhz 11g Channel 44 : 5220 Mhz 11a Channel 5 : 2432* Mhz 11g Channel 48 : 5240 Mhz 11a Channel 6 : 2437* Mhz 11g Channel 52 : 5260* Mhz 11a Channel 7 : 2442* Mhz 11g Channel 56 : 5280* Mhz 11a Channel 8 : 2447* Mhz 11a 11g Channel 60 : 5300* Mhz 11a Channel 9 : 2452* Mhz 11g Channel 64 : 5320* Mhz 11a Channel 10 : 2457* Mhz 11g Channel 135 : 4920 Mhz 11a Channel 11 : 2462* Mhz 11g Channel 136 : 4940 Mhz 11a Channel 12 : 2467* Mhz 11a 11g Channel 137 : 4960 Mhz 11a Channel 13 : 2472* Mhz 11g Channel 138 : 4980 Mhz 11a Channel 14 : 2484* Mhz 11b # sysctl dev.ath.0 dev.ath.0.%desc: Atheros 5424 dev.ath.0.%driver: ath dev.ath.0.%location: slot=0 function=0 handle=\_SB_.PCI0.RP01.PXS1 dev.ath.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x168c device=0x001c subvendor=0x10cf subdevice=0x139c class=0x020000 dev.ath.0.%parent: pci11 dev.ath.0.smoothing_rate: 95 dev.ath.0.sample_rate: 10 dev.ath.0.countrycode: 0 dev.ath.0.regdomain: 247 dev.ath.0.slottime: 9 dev.ath.0.acktimeout: 48 dev.ath.0.ctstimeout: 48 dev.ath.0.softled: 0 dev.ath.0.ledpin: 0 dev.ath.0.ledon: 0 dev.ath.0.ledidle: 2700 dev.ath.0.txantenna: 0 dev.ath.0.rxantenna: 2 dev.ath.0.diversity: 1 dev.ath.0.txintrperiod: 5 dev.ath.0.diag: 0 dev.ath.0.tpscale: 0 dev.ath.0.tpc: 0 dev.ath.0.tpack: 63 dev.ath.0.tpcts: 63 dev.ath.0.rfsilent: 1 dev.ath.0.rfkill: 1 dev.ath.0.monpass: 24
