Has anyone ever tried connecting a Blackberry Bold to a FreeBSD access point using an Atheros card? The card is an Atheros 5212, using FreeBSD 7.0. Every other wireless device that has been tried on this network works fine, but this Blackberry connects, gets a DHCP lease, and then sends ARP requests that get no reply. It behaves the same with the wireless open and using WPA or WPA2. The ath card is bridged to an Ethernet interface with if_bridge, which works flawlessly for everything but this Blackberry. The Blackberry works fine on several other wireless networks it has been tried on. capture of the Blackberry's ARP requests here: http://chrisbuechler.com/temp/bb-arp.pcap They're a bit different from the ARP requests of every other wireless device tried on this AP (i.e. the ones that work), in that they aren't padded to 60 byte frames, but I don't think that should be a problem. Anyone ever tried this, or have any idea what might be going on here? thanks, Chris
