I'm surprised it works for you at all on 5.6. It might actually crash your machine quite easily because of bugs in the driver. And scanning is rather broken with this device in 5.6 (won't see more than 8 APs). Support for this device was improved a lot for 5.7. See the changelog at http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/dev/usb/if_athn_usb.c There are still some issues, though. Some people are seeing frequent device timeouts which I can't reproduce. And hostap mode seems to be broken. If you have time to do some tests (with -current), I'd be interested to know if hostap works. To test, set it up for hostap mode, try to assoiate to it, assign IPs, and ping across. Does the device send beacons in hostap mode? Beacons should be visible from another computer with a wireless interface in monitor mode on the same channel, and tcpdump -y IEEE802_11_RADIO -v Do you see frequent or occasional device timeouts when using the device normally? If so, can you figure out which conditions trigger them?
