Hello,
I'm having some strangeness with respect to my atheros based card on
releng_7. This may not sound like much... but together they concern me.
I'm wondering if anyone has seen similar things.
1) I've seen two panics while trying to bring the interface up over
the last few weeks.
2) I get disconnected every night from my wireless router at home.
99% of the time it happens after I've gone to bed. Once or twice...
while I was sitting in front of it. It just disassociates?
3) When I am at the office, my card will *never* obtain an ip address
from our DHCP server upon first booting. I must *always* down the
interface, kill dhclient, bring the interface up and start dhclient.
Note that "nothing" has changed aside from upgrading to FreeBSD 7.0. By
this I mean I've used all/most/many of the same config files to
configure things. Maybe thats the problem, I don't know.
What can I provide that might offer insight? Below is a little.
