I got 802.11g working with my AR9280. woo

p00ntang# ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 ssid BOOTAY mode 11g
p00ntang# wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
p00ntang# ifconfig wlan0 inet 10.0.0.20 netmask 255.255.255.0

p00ntang# ifconfig wlan0 scan | grep DA
CUDAPANG        00:22:3f:9a:16:1b    6   54M -70:-96  100 EPS  ATH
p00ntang# ifconfig wlan0 scan | grep BO
BOOTAY          1c:7e:e5:de:ed:52    9   54M -69:-96  100 EP   MESHCONF MESHCONF WPS WPA RSN WME

p00ntang# route add default 10.0.0.1
p00ntang# ping somewhereoutside.com

now BOOTAY is reported on channel 9. still not sure about the channel 149 deal from last night. lagg failover doesn't seem to be working properly, still checking.


not having luck with 11n, arrggh still fiddling with it. :)
