Hi everyone I have an Atheros wifi card that is giving me some headaches. It's supposed to be an AR5212-based card, and is detected as such, dmesg on 8.1-RELEASE says: ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xa0010000-0xa001ffff irq 11 at device 14.0 on pci0 ath0: [ITHREAD] ath0: AR5212 mac 5.6 RF5111 phy 4.1 However, when I try to bring it up, no joy: # ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 wlan0: Ethernet address: 00:04:e2:a1:ee:a2 # ifconfig wlan0 up ath0: ath_chan_set: unable to reset channel 1 (2412 MHz, flags 0x480),hal status 3 And it continuously sends messages similar to the last one until I reboot. I noticed that on the chipset it is written "AR5212A", could it be a newer "revision" that is incompatible with the driver? Google hasn't been of much help. Thanks Firas
