All other similar issues are a few years old now, and on 8,9, some 7's. Long story short I'm just installing 10 (finally) on my laptop, and I need to get it back up and running asap as I am swamped in work. I didn't think it would be an issue as 9 had a decent working ath driver and I thought it could only get better. I'm now emailing using yet another system with the same device on 9, but a dying hdd which obviously also needs a reinstall on new hdd. Wired is no good as we aren't equipped. So in bsdinstall, all works well and it sets up wifi easily. Reboot into the new system an it has a coronary with messages from ath_reset_grablock, ath_reset, ath_raw_xmit, ath_chan_set, ath_legacy_rx_tasklet: ath_reset: concurrent reset! danger! ath_reset_grablock: didn't finish after 10 iterations ath_reset_grablock: warning, recursive reset path! ath_chan_set: concurrent reset! danger! ath_raw_xmit: sc_inreset_cnt > 0; bailing ath_legacy_rx_tasklet: sc_inreset_cnt > 0; bailing Scanning doesn't work; ath0 says it is associated, but wlan0 says no channel. I've set dev.ath.0.hal.debug=1, but there is no ath.0.debug either under dev or hw. I tried compiling the tools but it failed for lack of gcc. TIA guys, but I am really under the pump here as I thought this would be a quick up and go now with the pkgng system as well in play. Now I'm up the proverbial creek without a paddle. Cheers
