I can't even see the network in other computers.
Some time ago I reported this problem in here, but using slower hardware.
and Sam said that was it. That machine was running Linux before and is now
being converted to FreeBSD 8. when in linux, I had some performance
penalties but it works great for internet access.
is there anything I can do to solve this ?
the card is this:
ath0@pci0:5:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x3a131186 chip=0x0013168c rev=0x01
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
device = '802.11a/b/g Wireless Adapter (AR5212)'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
the card doesn't support 802.11a though.
I'm about to buy a rum based usb wlan, may be Hawking HWUG1 or TP-LINK
TL-WN321G, to make another freebsd based ap for light internet access. is
this supposed to happen as well ?
thanks,
matheus
