I've got an Atheros card, AR2425, which is supposed to be supported by
ath_hal(4), according to the man page.
dmesg|grep -i Ath
ath0: <Atheros 5424/2424> mem 0xd6000000-0xd600ffff irq 16 at device 0.0
on pci2
ath0: AR2425 mac 14.2 RF5424 phy 7.0
I can see that ath_hal is listed in the kernel config file:
egrep 'ath_|wlan_' GENERIC
device wlan_wep # 802.11 WEP support
device wlan_ccmp # 802.11 CCMP support
device wlan_tkip # 802.11 TKIP support
device wlan_amrr # AMRR transmit rate control algorithm
device ath_pci # Atheros pci/cardbus glue
device ath_hal # pci/cardbus chip support
device ath_rate_sample # SampleRate tx rate control for ath
kldstat doesn't show ath_hal as having been loaded. Is that normal?
kldstat -v|egrep 'wlan|ath_'
98 pci/ath_pci
434 wlan
433 wlan_wep
432 wlan_tkip
431 wlan_ccmp
430 wlan_amrr
436 wlan_sta 435 wlan_ratectl_none
Long story short, I can't seem to be able to configure my wireless,
despite following the instructions given in the handbook.
Here's my /etc/rc.conf:
cat /etc/rc.conf
hostname="box0"
sshd_enable="YES"
moused_enable="YES"
ntpd_enable="YES"
powerd_enable="YES"
# Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable
dumpdev="AUTO"
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="ssid plan9 WPA DHCP"
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
linux_enable="YES"
ifconfig_re0="DHCP"
And my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=2
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="plan9"
psk=wpa_passphrase-generated psk
}

I've tried everything I could think of, still no luck.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
