Try just doing ifconfig wlan0 -ht

See if that helps

I finally made it back to the wireless router that was having issues. I found that my NIC has no trouble with the router at work with 40MHz.

However, my router at home is setup for 20MHz. The complete setup is 2.4 GHz band, mixed mode (B and G) and 20 MHz width.

Disabling high throughput stops the firmware assertion and wireless works. I tried -ht, -ht20 and -ht40 each with a reboot for a fresh start and received the same results.

Ok, then I have no idea.

There's active work on iwn going on in -HEAD. I suggest updating to
that and then tracking development. No, I won't be backporting
anything to -9 or -8; someone else will have to take charge of that
(and field support queries when things don't work.)


I experimented a bit.  A workaround for me is to set the mode to 11b on
wlan0.  While not the best solution, it hopefully narrows down the issue.  I
will at the code later for some ideas of what changed.

Try jsut doing:

ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev iwn0
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

.. ie, don't do an ifconfig iwn0 up



Same result.  I ran with ifconfig_wlan0="WPA" removed from /etc/rc.conf
else
wpa_supplicant would start:
ifconfig wlan0 destroy

ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev iwn0
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
