Hi, I just tried to get a D-Link DWL-520 PCI adapter I purchased the other day running.
First problem: ath0 at pci0 dev 15 function 0 "Atheros AR5212" rev 0x01: irq 6 ath0: AR5212 7.9 phy 4.5 rf2112 5.6 rf2112 5.6ath0: no valid channels for regdomain NONE(32976) [Full dmesg follows at the end of this mail] This problem has been mentioned earlier on this mailinglist (e.g. http://www.monkey.org/openbsd/archive2/bugs/200503/msg00043.html), but without any solution. So, after some source code reading and debugging, I changed ieee80211_regdomain.h to let the driver recognize that regulatory domain: Index: ieee80211_regdomain.h =================================================================== RCS file: /var/cvs/OpenBSD/src/sys/net80211/ieee80211_regdomain.h,v retrieving revision 1.7 diff -u -r1.7 ieee80211_regdomain.h --- ieee80211_regdomain.h 23 Feb 2005 14:26:53 -0000 1.7 +++ ieee80211_regdomain.h 17 Jul 2005 17:48:24 -0000 @@ -71,6 +71,7 @@ DMN_EU1_WORLD = 0x68, DMN_WOR9_WORLD = 0x69, DMN_WORA_WORLD = 0x6A, + DMN_EU2_WORLD = 0xd0, DMN_APL1 = 0xf0000001, DMN_APL2 = 0xf0000002, @@ -145,6 +146,7 @@ { DMN_ETSIC, "ETSIC" }, \ { DMN_ETSI_NULL, "ETSI" }, \ { DMN_EU1_WORLD, "EU1W" }, \ + { DMN_EU2_WORLD, "EU2W" }, \ { DMN_FCC1, "FCC1" }, \ { DMN_FCC1_FCCA, "FCC1A" }, \ { DMN_FCC1_WORLD, "FCC1W" }, \ @@ -237,6 +239,7 @@ { DMN_WOR01_WORLD, DMN_WORLD, DMN_WORLD }, \ { DMN_WOR02_WORLD, DMN_WORLD, DMN_WORLD }, \ { DMN_EU1_WORLD, DMN_ETSI1, DMN_WORLD }, \ + { DMN_EU2_WORLD, DMN_ETSI1, DMN_WORLD }, \ { DMN_WOR9_WORLD, DMN_WORLD, DMN_WORLD }, \ { DMN_WORA_WORLD, DMN_WORLD, DMN_WORLD }, \ } Now, it looked much better: ath0 at pci0 dev 15 function 0 "Atheros AR5212" rev 0x01: irq 6 ath0: AR5212 7.9 phy 4.5 rf2112 5.6 rf2112 5.6, EU2W, address 00:11:95:bb:3f:65 Second problem: Unfortunately, shortly after configuring ath0 up, the machine just freezed (no keyboard or mouse input, no remote login). Three cases: 1. try: X11 running, power LED of the device was on. After ifconfig ath0 192.168.1.1 mediaopt hostap nwid outback \ nwkey XXXXXXXXXXXXX the power and activity LEDs started blinking (indicating an error, according to the manual), and a few minutes later, I experienced the freeze and had to push the reset button. 2. After reboot, fsck, etc., with the same data as above in /etc/hostname.ath0, the system did freeze early during startup (when running /etc/rc.local). This time I at least got an `ath0: device timeout'. 3. Reset, boot into single user mode, fsck and mount read-only everything. Same ifconfig as above, again, both LEDs started blinking. Then, ifconfig ath0 down ifconfig -mediaopt hostap ifconfig mediaopt hostap and the system again did freeze (this time without the timeout message). Any help to debug and maybe fix this problem is welcome. It would also be helpful if other users with that unknown regdomain problem could test the patch above, although I've to admit that I'm not sure wether this patch is the correct way to address that problem. If it works for you, I'd guess I've some interrupt or hardware problem.
