X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 00:07:43 -0000 I started this thread on current but I lost it to Ashish Shukla so I'm going to try here and see if I can explain it better and solve this strange issue. I was happily using Sam's ath_hal-20080528 patch and IIRC the committed ath_hal fixes until Sept 20. I didn't build another new kernel until Sept 26. From that date on I have been unable to get it working. The sept 20 kernel still works great. I'm using it to send this email. I don't have to change anything I just start kernel.old and run it rather than today's kernel that has no problems other than bringing up ath0/wlan0. Some general info for both kernels that I can find no important differences and now really doubt that the problem is hal_ath but something else that has changed and is causing the problem. I have thought of dhcp, ifconfig, ??? The general information for both follows: FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #50: Thu Oct 9 05:27:41 CDT 2008 root@ed.local.net.mx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ENCONTACTO rc.conf that doesn't change and works for sept 20 kernel but not todays: wlans_ath0=wlan0 ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP ssid virus wepmode on wepkey 1:0x2373FE9515 weptxkey 1" ifconfig with todays kernel for ath0 and wlan0: ath0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 2290 ether 00:1d:d9:27:5c:e5 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g status: associated wlan0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:1d:d9:27:5c:e5 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/48Mbps mode 11g status: associated ssid virus channel 6 (2437 Mhz 11g) bssid 00:1d:7e:51:e1:4d regdomain 101 indoor ecm authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:40-bit txpower 16 bmiss 7 scanvalid 450 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi 7 roam:rate 5 protmode CTS wme burst roaming MANUAL The part of the dmesg that show ath0 and wlan0 with hal ath_hal: 0.10.5.10 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, AR5416, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413, RF2133, RF2425, RF2417) ath0: mem 0xd0400000-0xd040ffff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci5 ath0: [ITHREAD] ath0: WARNING: using obsoleted if_watchdog interface ath0: mac 14.2 phy 7.0 radio 10.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The same information for the Sept 20 kernel.
