Hi,
I try to configure a new system as an access point, with:
ath0: <Atheros 9285> mem 0xfeaf0000-0xfeafffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci2
ath0: AR9285 mac 192.2 RF5133 phy 14.0
ath0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x10891a3b chip=0x002b168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
device = 'AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)'
class = network
According to the sticker, it is a:
AzureWave AW-NE785 ATH-5B95
I get a lot of:
ath0: stuck beacon: resetting (bmiss count 4)
I set hw.ath.bstuck=32
but the stuck beacon messages continue flowing, and I suffer from packet loss /
lost association of the test station.
This is on a 9-CURRENT system amd64 SMP (2011/07/24 svn r224294).
TIA,
CBu
P.S.: to prevent a number of useless questions (as seen when googling): I live
in the country, with _no_ other wireless network in the vicinity :-)
