The following reply was made to PR kern/149643; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Henry Hu <henry.hu.sh@gmail.com> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, nox@jelal.kn-bremen.de Cc: Subject: Re: kern/149643: [rum] device not sending proper beacon frames in ap mode Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2011 18:17:24 +0800 I have similar issue. My card: rum0: <Ralink 802.11 bg WLAN, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 6> on usbus6 rum0: MAC/BBP RT2573 (rev 0x2573a), RF RT2528 I also see my clients disconnect quickly. However, mine one do not send out any beacons. I'm also using hostapd, and as I capture the packets in the IEEE802_11_RADIO layer from an internal intel 3945 card, I cannot see any beacons sent by the card. I can see beacons of other access points, and if I plug the Ralink card into a WinXP laptop with official driver and software installed, I can see beacons from the card. So I think that the hardware is capable of sending beacons. It's just a problem of the driver. I found that though there is no beacons, a windows laptop connects fairly stable to the network. Maybe it ignores the beacons. However, my phone always disconnects from the network. It is an android phone, which uses wpa_supplicant to manage wireless connection. I create my wlan device with this: # sudo ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev rum0 wlanmode hostap My hostapd.conf: interface=wlan0 ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd wpa=1 wpa_passphrase=xxxxxxxxxx ssid=henryhu By the way, I found that the beacon_int and channel in hostapd.conf is useless, is it true? -- Cheers, Henry
