I can't even see the network in other computers.
Some time ago I reported this problem in here, but using slower hardware.
and Sam said that was it. That machine was running Linux before and is now
being converted to FreeBSD 8. when in linux, I had some performance
penalties but it works great for internet access.
is there anything I can do to solve this ?
the card is this:
a...@pci0:5:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x3a131186 chip=0x0013168c rev=0x01
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
device = '802.11a/b/g Wireless Adapter (AR5212)'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
the card doesn't support 802.11a though.
I'm about to buy a rum based usb wlan, may be Hawking HWUG1 or TP-LINK
TL-WN321G, to make another freebsd based ap for light internet access. is
this supposed to happen as well ?
thanks,
matheus
Using similar configuration file for hostapd, I did test another atheros
based wlan card in same role:
a...@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x3065168c chip=0x001c168c
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
device =
'HDAUDIOFUNC_01&VEN_1095&DEV_1392&SUBSYS_10280242&REV_1000
(USBVID_147E&PID_20165&B71A446&0&1)'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
this is a pcie part, AFAIK, running on Asus F3T turion based notebook.
Runs FreeBSD 8 as well:
[math...@xxx/usr/home/matheus]$ uname -a
FreeBSD xxx.xxx 8.0-STABLE FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #5: Sun Jan 3 16:20:25 BRT
2010 r...@xxx.xxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/xxx amd64
but this time I have no message as tha other box, and the AP works fine.
matheus
Are both machines SMP? Stuck beacons typically arise for two reasons:
the channel is busy and the ap can't get on the air to send the frame,
or the host/bus is overloaded and cannot meet the realtime requirements
of posting the beacon frame in time to hit the beacon transmit schedule.
I can't tell from the above info whether either might be possible.
