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. uname FreeBSD fangorn.nxdomain.org 7.0-BETA2 FreeBSD 7.0-BETA2 #0: Sat Nov 3 01:59:25 CDT 2007 =46rom dmesg: ############################ ath_hal: 0.9.20.3 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413= ) ath0: mem 0xfafe0000-0xfafeffff irq 11 at device 2.0 on pc= i2 ath0: [ITHREAD] ath0: using obsoleted if_watchdog interface ath0: Ethernet address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 radio 3.6 ############################ =46rom rc.conf ########################### network_interfaces=3D"lo0 bfe0 ath0" ifconfig_ath0=3D"WPA DHCP" ifconfig_bfe0=3D"DHCP" ############################ My wpa_supplicant.conf ############################ # Home network=3D{ ssid=3D"My_SSID" scan_ssid=3D1 priority=3D5 key_mgmt=3DWPA-PSK psk=3D"My_PSK" } # Office network=3D{ ssid=3D"Work_SSID" key_mgmt=3DNONE priority=3D3 } ########################## Thanks for your help. --=20 Regards, Eric --------------enigB77BD16D4F4536E11CB54568 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHPRetngSDRM3IXUoRApgvAJ48wqXR1J5Lfodu+C33dW3SPTVfHQCcCD8M /rLjpztwgwI1gk5COWkoyK0= =qwJN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigB77BD16D4F4536E11CB54568--
