Well, the AR9287 is a newer chip and it supports a few new things - most importantly, short-GI in HT20 mode. But honestly, the AR9280 is a nice NIC if you need a PCIe NIC. If you can find a dual-band AR9220 NIC (ie, not an AR9223) then it's a good PCI NIC.

I'll test umass on my ARM devices. EHCI driver suffers from this too. QH, QTD and other structures mixes DMA data and non-DMA fields. Splitting them would be a right thing to do too. Though I believe EHCI vs. WB caches issue is more complicated then just this.

List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2012 16:13:45 -0000 I posted on a similar subject last year but in the end it turned out to be irrelevant. I'm trying to get the combination of: a Soekris Net4511, FreeBSD 8-STABLE from Dec 2011, an Atheros AR5BMB-44 wifi interface (identified as AR5212 in dmesg), an Apple Airport Extreme (about 2010 vintage) with WPA/WPA2 security, to all play nicely. To start with I plan to look at the change logs for the wpa_supplicant suite to see if there were changes from last December to now. I will probably just upgrade this box to a later vintage of 8-STABLE. Still, hit me with a cluebat if this problem got fixed between December, 2011 and now. Anyhow, no matter what I've done, the result is the same: The atheros/wlan combo associates to my wireless network; The dhcp client on the soekris sends a request to the dhcp server. The dhcp server receives the negotiation and tries to offer a lease but the soekris never receives a reply; I've confirmed this by running tcpdump on the dhcp server where I've seen the requests arrive with the atheros' mac address and I've seen the replies go back out of the dhcp server but either the atheros isn't listening or the Airport Extreme isn't forwarding the traffic. I haven't sniffed the wifi to see if the Airport Extreme just isn't forwarding the reply or if the atheros isn't receiving it properly. I can convince this combination of hardware to work if I change the network security on the airport extreme from WPA/WPA2 to None. The configuration that I feel should make the atheros work with the Airport Extreme works just fine with my 2010 vintage Airport Express. The Express and the Extreme are basically creating the same network. The Extreme is on 2.4GHz channel 11, the Express on 2.4GHz 1. The reason I have both so you are always near an access point. I can get the atheros to work with WPA2 on my Mifi 4082. As a new data point, the combination of an Intel 2200bg + WPA works with the Airport Extreme. I've posted my configs after my signature if you want to look and I can provide more information if you need it. My hope in posting this is to try and figure out what's up with the atheros or the Airport Extreme that it isn't working in this configuration. If anyone has an atheros card working with WPA/WPA2 and an Apple Airport Extreme I'd love any assistance you'd be willing to give me with the configuration. Thanks for any help you can provide. -- -- Chris ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "There will be an answer, Let it be." e: chris -at- vindaloo -dot- com This is the hacked /etc/rc.conf to work with the Intel card: ... wpa_supplicant_enable="YES" ## wlans_ath0="wlan0" wlans_iwi0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" ...
