Hello again, I have tried a second card which is an Atheros AR5213A. I can set it on 11a or 11b but 11g (even though does not make any errors) never works. It seems to stay stuck at 11b.
I have set it with and without encryption without luck so far. This is my setup : inet 192.168.5.1 255.255.255.0 NONE media autoselect mediaopt hostap mode 11b nwid openbsdap chan 11 wpa wpapsk $(wpa-psk openbsdap my_secret_key) wpaakms psk Trying mode 11g just returns to the command line without resetting anything. Has anyone seen familiar behavior, been googling for a while without finding a solution so far. ath0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 00:0b:6b:de:10:f2 priority: 0 groups: wlan media: IEEE802.11 autoselect mode 11b hostap status: active ieee80211: nwid openbsdap chan 11 bssid 00:0b:6b:de:10:f2 wpapsk 0xd.....8b wpaprotos wpa1 wpaakms psk wpaciphers tkip,ccmp wpagroupcipher tkip inet6 fe80::20b:6bff:fede:10f2%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet 192.168.5.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.5.255 OpenBSD 4.5 (GENERIC) #1749: Sat Feb 28 14:51:18 MST 2009 dera...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Geode(TM) Integrated Processor by National Semi ("Geode by NSC" 586-class) 267 MHz cpu0: FPU,TSC,MSR,CX8,CMOV,MMX real mem = 268005376 (255MB) avail mem = 250855424 (239MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 20/70/04, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xf7840 pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.0 @ 0xf0000/0x10000 pcibios0: pcibios_get_intr_routing - function not supported pcibios0: PCI IRQ Routing information unavailable. pcibios0: PCI bus #0 is the last bus bios0: ROM list: 0xc8000/0x9000 cpu0 at mainbus0: (uniprocessor) cpu0: TSC disabled pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0: configuration mode 1 (bios) pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 "Cyrix GXm PCI" rev 0x00 sis0 at pci0 dev 6 function 0 "NS DP83815 10/100" rev 0x00, DP83816A: irq 10, address 00:00:24:c8:44:f4 nsphyter0 at sis0 phy 0: DP83815 10/100 PHY, rev. 1 sis1 at pci0 dev 7 function 0 "NS DP83815 10/100" rev 0x00, DP83816A: irq 10, address 00:00:24:c8:44:f5 nsphyter1 at sis1 phy 0: DP83815 10/100 PHY, rev. 1 sis2 at pci0 dev 8 function 0 "NS DP83815 10/100" rev 0x00, DP83816A: irq 10, address 00:00:24:c8:44:f6 nsphyter2 at sis2 phy 0: DP83815 10/100 PHY, rev. 1 ath0 at pci0 dev 14 function 0 "Atheros AR5212" rev 0x01: irq 11 ath0: AR5213A 5.9 phy 4.3 rf5112a 3.6, FCC2A*, address 00:0b:6b:de:10:f2 gscpcib0 at pci0 dev 18 function 0 "NS SC1100 ISA" rev 0x00 gpio0 at gscpcib0: 64 pins "NS SC1100 SMI" rev 0x00 at pci0 dev 18 function 1 not configured pciide0 at pci0 dev 18 function 2 "NS SCx200 IDE" rev 0x01: DMA, channel 0 wired to compatibility, channel 1 wired to compatibility wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <SanDisk SDCFX4-4096> wd0: 4-sector PIO, LBA, 3919MB, 8027712 sectors wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 2 geodesc0 at pci0 dev 18 function 5 "NS SC1100 X-Bus" rev 0x00: iid 6 revision 3 wdstatus 0 ohci0 at pci0 dev 19 function 0 "Compaq USB OpenHost" rev 0x08: irq 5, version 1.0, legacy support isa0 at gscpcib0 isadma0 at isa0 com0 at isa0 port 0x3f8/8 irq 4: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo com0: console com1 at isa0 port 0x2f8/8 irq 3: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5 pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot) pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard pcppi0 at isa0 port 0x61 midi0 at pcppi0: <PC speaker> spkr0 at pcppi0 nsclpcsio0 at isa0 port 0x2e/2: NSC PC87366 rev 9: GPIO VLM TMS gpio1 at nsclpcsio0: 29 pins gscsio0 at isa0 port 0x15c/2: SC1100 SIO rev 1: npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: reported by CPUID; using exception 16 usb0 at ohci0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0 at usb0 "Compaq OHCI root hub" rev 1.00/1.00 addr 1 biomask f3e5 netmask ffe5 ttymask ffff softraid0 at root root on wd0a swap on wd0b dump on wd0b
