Well, there was a thread some weeks ago that stated that 802.11g generally doesn't work with ath (in "Hostap and 802.11g"): "no, only 11b with atheros. there is no implementation for 11g in openbsd." Or does g only not work in hostap? > Without specific model information *taken right out of dmesg*, noone > will be able to help you. ath0 at pci0 dev 13 function 0 "Atheros AR5212" rev 0x01: irq 12 ath0: AR5212 5.9 phy 4.3 rf5112 3.6, FCC1A, address 00:0b:6b:36:00:dc That's a Wistron CM 9.
