thanks again about this tip.. now what happens is that whenever i do this procedure the card stays up for about 10 - 15 min and then i get the dmesg of: ath0: device timeout ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3 ath0: device timeout ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3 ath0: device timeout it's not to much fun to do that every 10 minutes or so. is there a refresh rate that has to be set up somewhere that will take care of that? i looked at the ifconfig manual but nothing from that sort... i use either ifconfig or dhclient - they both seem to work.. thanks > I had this same problem on my laptop with an rl card and the ath as a > pcmcia card, if I use the rc.conf to setup the ath0 card and not do > anything with the rl0 then all is fine. > When you take the xl0 down, you will also need to redefine your default > gateway route as that seems to get associated with a particular card, so > what I would have to do is take the rl0 card down with ifconfig, then > bring the ath0 up and set its ip, netmask, ssid, wepkey and so on then > modify the default route entry by > route change default <ipaddress of router> > > if that doesnt work then > route flush > route add default <ipaddress of router> > > you can see the default route by entering > netstat -rn > It should be called default and have a G as one of its flags. > > Hope that helps > - Geoff > > kalin mintchev wrote: >> now this is what i do: >> both cards come up; >> i turn xl0 down - if i don't and try to associate ath0 i get: >> ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists ; >> with the xl0 down i do: >> ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.1.21 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid apname; ping >> to >> 192.168.1.1 works; >> ping to anywhere outside does NOT work i get: >> ping: sendto: Network is down >> !?!? >> i don't know why.. >> >> then i bring the xl0 up ping outside works fine with it. >> >> help?! >> >> >> >>>some additional information from the log >>> kernel: arp: 192.168.1.3 is on ath0 but got reply from >> >> 00:0b:5f:32:72:48 >> >>>on xl0 >>>Jul 24 18:39:50 host kernel: ath0: hardware error; resetting >>>Jul 24 18:39:50 host kernel: ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; >> >> hal status 3 >> >>>Jul 24 18:39:53 host kernel: arp: 192.168.1.3 is on ath0 but got reply >> >> from 00:0b:5f:32:72:48 on xl0 >> >>>Jul 24 18:40:23 host last message repeated 4 times >>>Jul 24 18:42:23 host last message repeated 17 times >>>output from arp -a returns only: >>>?
