Hello, =20 I recently had need for working wireless on an old iMac I use for running= =46reeBSD. As the computer originally had a unsupported broadcom card I = swapped it out for an AR9287 I had in a drawer. Now, the problem is that = while the card connects fine in the 2.4Ghz it won't connect, or more prec= isely won't see anything in the 5Ghz spectrum. A command like 'ifconfig w= lan0 list regdomain' for example only lists 2.4Ghz channels. Now according to my dmesg (relevant bits below) this card has a 5Ghz radi= o (as it should). So what should I do to actually be able to actually con= nect or see anything over 5Ghz=3F ath0: <Atheros 9287> mem 0xc8100000-0xc810ffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pc= i3 ath0: =5BHT=5D enabling HT modes ath0: =5BHT=5D enabling short-GI in 20MHz mode ath0: =5BHT=5D 1 stream STBC receive enabled ath0: =5BHT=5D 1 stream STBC transmit enabled ath0: =5BHT=5D 2 RX streams; 2 TX streams ath0: AR9287 mac 384.2 R=465133 phy 15.15 ath0: 2GHz radio: 0x0000; 5GHz radio: 0x00c0 The relevant parts of my rc.conf would be: create=5Fargs=5Fwlan0=3D=22country SE=22 ifconfig=5Fwlan0=3D=22WPA SYNCDHCP=22 -- =20 Bj=C3=B6rn Jonare Sent with Sparrow (http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/=3Fsig)
