I've recompiled -CURRENT with support for atheros cards. I have two cards, one PCI(desktop) and one PCMCIA(laptop). Both are Proxim 11a/b/g combo cards with AR5212 chips. The cards are recognized fine. pciconf -l -vv shows:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:4:0: class=0x020000 card=0x0a6014b7 chip=0x0013168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.' class = network subclass = ethernet
dmesg shows: ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0x40000000-0x4000ffff irq 5 at device 4.0 on pci2 ath0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ath0: 802.11 address: 00:20:a6:4c:ef:62
I've tried every possible example combo from man ath(4), i.e:
ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net mode 11a mediaopt adhoc
to create adhoc network.
The problems start when I try to configure them with ifconfig.
Every attempt result in following errors and lack of communication between them: ar5212AniGetCurrentState: Out of space in ANI table for channel 5785/0x140! ar5212AniGetCurrentState: Out of space in ANI table for channel 5805/0x140! ar5212AniGetCurrentState: Out of space in ANI table for channel 5825/0x140! ar5212AniGetCurrentState: Out of space in ANI table for channel 5785/0x140! ar5212AniGetCurrentState: Out of space in ANI table for channel 5805/0x140!
etc etc.
Any idea how to fix that and how to make the cards work? A simple ping would make my day :)
You're stuck for now. This is a bug in the HAL that I've got fixed but is taking forever to verify correctness. With luck I'll have new stuff committed this week (but that's what I thought last week...).
Sorry, it was my bad :(
