hi there, is it normal behaviour that for my ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xf8000000-0xf800ffff irq 19 at device 1.0 on pci5 ath0: AR2413 mac 7.9 RF2413 phy 4.5 device running HEAD on amd64, the media setting under `ifconfig` changes constantly? `ifconfig wlan0|grep media:` media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/36Mbps mode 11g `ifconfig wlan0|grep media:` media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/54Mbps mode 11g `ifconfig wlan0|grep media:` media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/18Mbps mode 11g `ifconfig wlan0|grep media:` media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/48Mbps mode 11g ? also i was wondering, if i can enable turbo mode for this device? `ifconfig -m wlan0` and `ifconfig wlan list chan` confirm that turbo mode is available. however the following fails: `ifconfig wlan0 mediaopt turbo` ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (media): Device not configured setting ifconfig_wlan0="WPA inet 192.168.1.10 media OFDM/54Mbps mode 11g mediaopt turbo country DE" in my /etc/rc.conf works and ifconfig(8) does report that my device has been set into turbo mode ("<turbo>"). however it won't associate. if i remove "mediaopt turbo" from the "ifconfig_wlan0"-line, everything works like a charm. cheers. alex
