Hi all,
I'm running freebsd 6.0 on a soekris box. I'm trying to configure it as
a access point.
%dmesg | grep ath0
ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xa0010000-0xa001ffff irq 11 at device 14.0 on
pci0
ath0: Ethernet address: 00:02:6f:20:8f:4a
ath0: mac 5.6 phy 4.1 5ghz radio 1.7 2ghz radio 2.3
If I configure ath0 in 11b mode, it works fine. However if I configure
it in 11g mode or 11a mode, I no longer can connect to it, and my ssid
disappears from my macs available access points option.
My client is a mac os x 10.4.
Here's the ifconfig output for autoselect, 11g and 11a which fails:
