(?) here's syslog entries: ath0: mem 0xf01000000-0xf010fff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pic7 ath0: [HT] enabling HT modes ath0: [HT] 2 RS streams: 2 TX streams ath0: AR9280 mac 128.2 RF5133 phy 13.0 ath0: 2GHz radio: 0x00; 5GHz radio: 0x00c0 ath0: ath_reset_grablock: didn't finish after 10 iterations ath0: ath_reset_grablock: warning, recursive reset path! ath0: ath_chan_set: concurrent reset! Danger! ath0: ath_start: sc_inreset_cnt > 0; bailing I have not yet been able to get this card connected to 5GHz/HT40. but "usually" 11g works. Today it's being super-stubborn. :) I noticed if i do ifconfig the channel "floats" all over the woodshed. in 11g mode it's bumping around from 2 to 12, 11a mode from 2 to 169 (i think). Seems like it settles eventually and connects. Any troubleshooting tips/help appreciated. Thanks, -- Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA --bound1330455689--
