Issue #2806 has been updated by daftaupe.
For what it's worth after 6 years, I found a laptop with such a Wireless adapter : <pre> ath0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x410e144d chip=0x0032168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Qualcomm Atheros' device = 'AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter' class = network </pre> It's working out of the box with the 6.0-RELEASE, but not with 5GHz networks (that was my mistake at the beginning). The working rc.conf configuration is : <pre> dhcpcd_enable="YES" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA" </pre> And for /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf I had to add the following lines <pre> network={ ssid="mynetwork" scan_ssid=0 psk="xxxx" priority=5 } </pre> ---------------------------------------- Bug #2806: failed to configure a link-local address on ath0 (errno = 22) http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2806#change-14085 * Author: Chingyuan * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: Driver * Target version: 6.2 ---------------------------------------- Hello, My Laptop's wireless device is "Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 rev 01".
