More Updates. I try it with FreeBSD 7.0 and same hardware. I'm still getting irq storms but seems to be working only after : ifconfig ath0 media OFDM54 If I left it in autoselect doesn't work. So after setup the OFDM I can do an scan an it show me the results. But in version 8.0 if not working even if I force the modulation. that helps ? Thanks.
