Hello Boris, I checked the handbook, UPDATING, and nothing mentioned this thing, why? I would think I'm not the only one with this problem, or am I?
Anyway it seems to work, I'm getting: Starting hostapd. Configuration file: /etc/hostapd.conf wlan0: IEEE 802.11 Fetching hardware channel/rate support not supported. Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr 00:11:95:e5:70:df and ssid 'mayumi-ap' Is it something I should worry about? Also how to create wlan device by hand? "ifconfig ath0 wlandev wlan0" doesn't seem to work. What initially was worrying me was this: >> ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xf4000000-0xf400ffff irq 3 at device 11.0 on pci0 >> ath0: [ITHREAD] >> ath0: AR2413 mac 7.9 RF2413 phy 4.5 I thought that ath0 was using a different driver than it supposed to. There's one more question, though not related to this problem. I have an android phone, and it doesn't seem to work with my FreeBSD AP, while it works on others. After sniffing the traffic, it looks like it is a power management issue: https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/87903#87903 Someone traced the problem to WME/WMM in his case. I don't know if that's the case for me yet, I tried to disable/enable wme on the AP but it doesn't seem to do anything. Is it possible that I might fix it by enabling some option? Anyway, thanks for everyone who helped me fix the initial issue.
