The following reply was made to PR kern/119225; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Jonas Wolz" <jwolz1@gmail.com> To: jyrki.k@post.cz, bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: kern/119225: [wi] 7.0-RC1 no carrier with Prism 2.5 wifi card (regression) Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2008 14:04:19 +0100 I can confirm this bug with a Prism3 chipset and FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE. The relevant dmesg output is: wi0: <Intersil Prism3> mem 0xe4006000-0xe4006fff irq 18 at device 11.0 on pci0 wi0: [ITHREAD] wi0: using RF:PRISM3(Mini-PCI) wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.1), Station (1.5.6) wi0: Ethernet address: 00:02:8a:a0:8a:96 "ifconfig wi0 up scan" will sometimes "complete" in a few seconds and sometimes take a few minutes but will never show any APs. An interesting aspect is that if I clear the ssid with "ifconfig wi0 ssid -" and take the interface up and down repeatedly sometimes the ssid of one AP will show up in ifconfig, but there will still be "no carrier" (unfortunately I don't know how reproduce this effect reliably).
