Dear Colleagues, Running FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE, ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xfe400000-0xfe40ffff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci7 ath0: AR2413 mac 7.9 RF2413 phy 4.5 I have run this box for a long time as a WiFi access point for my home laptops and smartphones and never had a problem, the config was: # Wi-Fi setup wlans_ath0="wlan0" create_args_wlan0="wlanmode hostap" hostapd_enable="YES" However several days ago I had to run the box as a WiFi client, with ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP WPA" hostapd_enable="NO" and it began to freeze frequently. It freezes very hard, only the reset button helps. Is it possible that wpa_supplicant or some other part of the WiFi setup causes the hangs? Nothing else has changed in the system besides its role from the access point to a WiFi client. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:sudakov@sibptus.tomsk.ru
