Atheros AR9280 on 8.1-RC2 - unusable
I recently upgraded a system of mine with an Atheros AR9280 to FreeBSD 8.1-RC2. Upon booting, the system log keeps getting appended with entries that state: ath0: bb hang detected (0x80) and ath0: ath_chan_set: unable to reset channel X (, flags 0x480), hal status 3 where X and cycle through the various channels and frequencies. The associated wlan device is unable to associate with the wireless access point. Let me know if there's any other information I can provide. This card was experienced occaisional lockups in 8.0-RELEASE, and will only associate with the ath driver if the driver is compiled into the kernel - loading via a module would not work. I'm posting this here because I saw Ken Smith's comment about recent AR9280 regression and fixes on this branch. Thanks, - Craig ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
