I have a D-link | wireless card, DWL-G650, which is based on the Atheros chip. When I do a | kldload if_ath.ko it prints a load of stuff saying speeds etc and ifconfig | then has a ath0 device :-) | | However, I tried configuring it and it all seems a bit random. It'll still | say "no carrier" still and sometimes it will go into the associated state | and I can ping machines, but then it'll go back to no carrier again? The | length is stays in the associated state seems a bit random. Sometimes i'll | get it for maybe a minute, sometimes it'll just immediately switch back to | no carrier. Is anyone using the ath driver with success? I'm all of 10cm | away from the access point too.... | | Suggestions? works with the ndis thing, although only at 6mps apparently...... how do I change the speed with the ndis one? It came up with.... agp0: bad initial aperture size, disabling device_attach: agp0 attach returned 6 (yes, that does come up when I try and load the module.. same with if_ath) ndis0: mem 0x88000000-0x8800ffff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus0 ndis0:Ethernet address: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ndis0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 12Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ndis0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps ndis0: 11g rates: 6Mbps 12Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps NDIS: open file /compat/ndis/regAdd.txt failed: 2 ndis0: link up ndis0: no matching rate for 216 I think it's got something to do with that no matching rate, but I have no idea what. Oh, and I dunno why it comes up with 11a rates, it's only a 11b/g/g+ card as far as I am aware? | | _______________________________________________ | freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org mailing list | http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile | To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-mobile-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
