A lot of the ath PRs filed by me can be closed. They're reminders that things needed fixing, which I've done. A lot of them are for older cards on older machines with odd behaviour due to PCI/cardbus issues, power save bugs, ACPI hilarity, etc. I've tried to port over some fixes to address these but it's hard to verify them without a (much larger) lab and (a lot more) free time to test it all.

Re: [ATH] 9.2-PRERELEASE and wlan0 device disconnection
O never mind, it still happens, though obviously more intermittently, since I didn't notice anything odd for almost an entire day. A few more things this time though: a. It IS intermittent, there seems to be very little pattern to this, except that it seems to be more likely to happen when/if I am using the internet more and actively (e.g. youtube etc rather than just let a few small internet using things run). b. There seems to be an extra line in the error logs: Aug 19 10:53:47 tahoe dhclient[79063]: ioctl(SIOCGIFFLAGS) on wlan0: Operation not permitted c. Speaking of error logs; I think this was the case before as well, but now it has become more obvious as I try to diagnose the exact issue: the breakage does not ALWAYS produce any output in any logs. i.e.: there are many times that wlan0 craps out and no logs show anything out of the ordinary. d. The above is in addition to the intermittent-ish nature of the issue (that was mentioned) as well as the fact that restarting netif once does not always fix it, sometimes netif needs to be restarted 2 or 3 times in a row. (Before any restarts ping just doesn't show any output. After 1 restart it just immediately gets back to me with network unreachable type error). I will try to submit a pr in the next few days, studying for an exam right now. Additionally, once I figure out how to use SVN, I can try to work through the different svn versions to see where it goes awry, though this will take a lot longer as compiling world takes about a full day on this machine.

I have an ATHEROS card (AR928X according to pciconf), things go fine except every few minutes/hours (randomly) I get the following http://bpaste.net/show/123755/ type of error, and the network is no longer connected, however, beyond the fact that I can't even reach my router there's no obvious other sign, I.e ifconfig still shows a valid output with ip address etc as if it were still connected. Restarting the netif service fixes it, until it happens again - which it does in a short while (though sometimes I have to restart netif twice). As I said, this happened just as I upgraded from 9.1 to 9.2. Anyone have any idea what's causing this? -Tj Hariharan Can you submit a PR for this so the maintainer can track it?

Re: [ATH] 9.2-PRERELEASE and wlan0 device disconnection
Hi! I'm not sure what could've caused this! Not much has changed in the wireless stack and ath driver between 9.1 and 9.2. Would you be able to work through different svn versions of stable/9 between 9.1 and 9.2 to narrow down when things broke? It may be something other than the wifi driver/stack. Thanks! -adrian On 17 August 2013 05:12, Tj t...@archlinux.us wrote: (Sorry emailed from wrong address, re emailing) Hi, I just upgraded to 9.2-PRERELEASE from 9.1-RELEASE, I have not had this problem before with any version of freebsd however.
