Hello all. First of all, I'm not on current, but on stable: FreeBSD pcbsd-6648 9.0-STABLE FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE #8: Fri May 18 16:12:29 UTC 2012 root@build9x64.pcbsd.org:/usr/obj/builds/i386/pcbsd-build90/fbsd-source/9.0/sys/GENERIC i386 I have lenovo s10-2 (which is have some unsupported broadcom wifi). I did replace wifi with ath0: <Atheros 5424/2424> mem 0x56100000-0x5610ffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci2 ath0: AR2425 mac 14.2 RF5424 phy 7.0 And weirdness begin. At my home I have wifi router in WEP mode. All devices/laptops are working just fine. But s10-2 is somehow get broken packets; fetch - got broken downloads (incorrect MD5, and sometimes say to me that length of file is invalid); wget - stops, saying something about MAC error. ssh - works fine while I simply use console (cd, ls) - can lasts hours.but! If I run mc, and starts something like copy/delete files (which heavily updates screen) - ssh drops connections with message packet error. browsing - pretty working (but not file downloads of course). At my workplace we using WPA with password. At work I can download packages,files,etc - all is OK with fine checksums. I happen to note this while testing PC-BSD 9.0, currently I'm on latest PC-BSD beta. Any thoughts/advices on how to test it/fix it? I'd gladly use broadcom (bcm94312MCG) if it works. BTW, maybe someone could mentor me on developing/porting driver? :) -- Regards, Alexander Yerenkow
