https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198680 Bug ID: 198680 Summary: [ath] Specifying "mode 11ng" breaks client connectivity with ath(4) Product: Base System Version: 11.0-CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: wireless Assignee: freebsd-wireless@FreeBSD.org Reporter: cmb@pfsense.org Version: 11.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #0 r279813: Mon Mar 9 16:31:08 UTC 2015 Configure an ath card as a client with "mode 11ng" specified, and it doesn't work. For instance, this rc.conf: wlans_ath0="ath0_wlan0" ifconfig_ath0_wlan0="mode 11ng ssid test_network DHCP" The interface ends up endlessly stuck at "no carrier". ath0_wlan0: flags=8c43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,OACTIVE,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:80:48:79:99:f2 inet6 fe80::280:48ff:fe79:99f2%ath0_wlan0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11ng (autoselect) status: no carrier ssid test_network channel 1 (2412 MHz 11b) country US ecm authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpower 27 bmiss 7 scanvalid 60 wme burst bintval 0 groups: wlan Run ifconfig more, and you'll see the channel continues to change over and over. A small sampling: ssid test_network channel 1 (2412 MHz 11g) ssid test_network channel 3 (2422 MHz 11g) ssid test_network channel 44 (5220 MHz 11a) ssid test_network channel 9 (2452 MHz 11g) It ends up stuck in that state indefinitely. Remove "mode 11ng" from the ifconfig line in rc.conf, 'service netif restart', and it works. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
