At least two locations with significant 2.4 GHz noise (a dozen up to a few dozen visible APs), and one location with minimal 2.4 GHz noise, with the exact same results. The above is the circumstance with -CURRENT. This also doesn't work in FreeBSD 10.1, though with different symptoms. It's completely broken and gets stuck in "no carrier" there with channel any. ath0_wlan0: flags=8c43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,OACTIVE,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:80:48:79:99:f2 inet6 fe80::280:48ff:fe79:99f2%ath0_wlan0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x9 inet 100.64.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 100.64.0.255 nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11ng <hostap> (autoselect <hostap>) status: no carrier ssid asdfasfd channel 1 (2412 MHz 11b) country US ecm authmode WPA2/802.11i privacy MIXED deftxkey 3 TKIP 2:128-bit TKIP 3:128-bit txpower 27 scanvalid 60 wme burst -apbridge dtimperiod 1 -dfs I haven't tested anything other than ath(4) cards, so not sure if this is specific to ath or net80211 in general. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
