Hello,
I have a Thinkpad T60 with dual boot between Windows XP and FreeBSD
9.1-Release:
uname -a
FreeBSD T60.workgroup 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE #0 r243826: Tue Dec
4 06:55:39 UTC 2012
root@obrian.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
i386
I am trying to use my wifi card which is:
dmesg
....
ath0: <Atheros 5416> mem 0xedf00000-0xedf0ffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci3
ath0: AR5418 mac 12.10 RF5133 phy 8.1
....
pciconf -lv
....
ath0@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x0033168c chip=0x0024168c
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
device = 'AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter'
class = network
.....
I followed several HOW-TOs in order to make it work. Unfortunately I it is
working only after I reboot from my Windows installation (regardless of the
position of the wifi switch on the front panel of the notebook). After
restart from Windows everything is fine - the wifi associates with the AP
and I can use it. If I reboot the system during the boot and afterwards I
constantly get:
ath0: device timeout
When I get the device status through ifconfig I can see that ath0 is
associated but wlan0 is not associated.
ifconfig ath0
ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290

}
network={
ssid="access2"
psk="secret2"

}
I searched the net for solution to my problem but I couldn't find one. Can
you help me with this?

Lyubomir
