Dear FreeBSD-Wireless team,
I'd like to inform the dev teams that I just upgraded my system from 8.2-stable to 9.0-stable using CVSUP and my wireless card SR71-A (AR9160) is no longer being detected. If I roll back to the old kernel, everything is working great. Here is my kernel config for wireless:
device wlan
device wlan_acl
device wlan_wep
device wlan_ccmp
device wlan_tkip
device wlan_amrr
device ath
device ath_hal
options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416
#options ATH_ENABLE_11N <-- I tried enabling this and recompiling and it did not do any difference
device ath_rate_sample
As always I edited the following file before recompiling:
vi /usr/src/sys/dev/ath/ath_hal/ar5416/ar5416.h
and changed AR5416_DEFAULT_TXCHAINMASK from 1 to 7
after compiling the 9.0 kernel, pciconf returns the following undetected devices:
none0@pci0:0:3:0: class=0x078000 card=0x2a448086 chip=0x2a448086 rev=0x07 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'Mobile 4 Series Chipset MEI Controller'
class = simple comms
none1@pci0:0:31:3: class=0x0c0500 card=0x29308086 chip=0x29308086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82801I (ICH9 Family) SMBus Controller'
class = serial bus
subclass = SMBus
none2@pci0:1:15:0: class=0x028000 card=0x40820777 chip=0x0027168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
device = 'AR9160 802.11abgn Wireless PCI Adapter'
class = network
Any help is greatly appreciated! I upgraded to 9.0 hoping test 802.11n!
Thanks!
