Hi,
I'm running OpenBSD 5.8 i386 on an Acer Aspire One ZG5. Wifi doesn't work.
I've attached the dmesg output. The device has a wifi switch, which doesn't
seem to have any effect on this problem. On FreeBSD and Linux everything
works as expected.


"ifconfig ath0 scan" shows no networks:
ath0: flags=8822<BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        lladdr 00:23:4d:49:47:91
        priority: 4
        groups: wlan
        media: IEEE802.11 autoselect
        status: no network
        ieee80211: nwid ""

If the device wasn't upped yet, the following dmesg line appears:
ath0: unable to reset hardware; hal status 36

"ifconfig ath0 up" adds the UP flag in the ifconfig output and also gives the
same dmesg line. However, "scan" still won't find any networks. If the device
is already up, another "ifconfig ath0 up" gives hal status 917125121 instead.


Because it couldn't find any networks, I've tried to create my own.
"ifconfig ath0 mode 11g mediaopt hostap nwid test up":
ath0: flags=8823<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        lladdr 00:23:4d:49:47:91
        priority: 4
        groups: wlan
        media: IEEE802.11 autoselect
        status: no network
        ieee80211: nwid test
And dmesg output is:
ath0: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3223349734
No wireless network with ssid "test" could be found by my other devices.

I hope this helps! :)
