The Xbox 360 can successfully locate the AP in a scan, but when trying to connect it simply fails. I'd like to request some help in debugging this as I have no idea where to start. The FreeBSD box is running 8-RELEASE. Datapoints: 1. The Xbox connected successfully to my FreeBSD 7-RELEASE based AP with no issues. 2. The Xbox connected successfully to multiple off the shelf consumer grade APs I have sitting around. 3. The Xbox cannot connect to a Linux based AP using madwifi-0.9.4 or later trunk versions. It also cannot connect using the (more recent) ath5k driver on Linux. I only mention this as I tried setting up a Slackware box out of frustration to no avail. (FYI - there is a very old ticket on the madwifi site that was never closed with the exact problem that I am having: http://madwifi-project.org/ticket/1509) 4. Many other devices are connecting successfully to the 8-RELEASE AP including a couple of netbooks, a laptop, a Canon wireless printer, an iPod touch, a BlackBerry, and an Apple Wireless bridge. 5. The network is using WPA2-PSK through hostapd. Turning off authentication and opening the network completely does not help. -- The hardware is a Cisco Aironet PCI card with an Atheros 5212 chip: # dmesg | grep ath ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xe1300000-0xe130ffff irq 16 at device 4.0 on pci5 ath0: [ITHREAD] ath0: AR5212 mac 5.9 RF5112 phy 4.3 # ifconfig ath0 ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290 ether 00:40:96:b8:13:53 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g <hostap> status: running # ifconfig wlan0 wlan0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:40:96:b8:13:53 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g <hostap> status: running ssid freebsd channel 6 (2437 Mhz 11g) bssid 00:40:96:b8:13:53 regdomain FCC3 indoor ecm authmode WPA2/802.11i privacy MIXED deftxkey 3 AES-CCM 2:128-bit AES-CCM 3:128-bit txpower 21 scanvalid 60 protmode CTS wme burst dtimperiod 1 -dfs >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
