Hello,

I'm trying to configure Atheros USB wifi on OpenBSD 5.3/i386, but get
firmware-error.


I'm not sure about supporting of this card. It's TL-WN821N.
As I can see here[1][2], uath(4) driver supports Atheros USB 802.11a/b/g,
but not 802.11n [Atheros AR7010+AR9287].

So, after plug it in, I get this:

> dmesg
athn0 at uhub0 port 5 "ATHEROS USB WLAN" rev 2.00/2.02 addr 2
athn0: failed loadfirmware of file athn-ar7010-11 (error 2)
athn0: could not load firmware

And after installing athn-firmware-1.1p0 and uath-firmware-2.0p0, I get
this:

> dmesg
athn0 at uhub0 port 5 "ATHEROS USB WLAN" rev 2.00/2.02 addr 2
athn0: bad ROM checksum 0x2c64
athn0: could not read ROM
athn0: could not attach chip

Is it a bug or OpenBSD doesn't support it yet? Or maybe I forgot something?

Thank you,
Alex
