I'm trying to configure it as a access point. %dmesg | grep ath0 ath0: 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: %ifconfig ath0 media autoselect mode autoselect mediaopt hostap %ifconfig -v ath0 ath0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.2.187 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255 inet6 fe80::202:6fff:fe20:8f4a%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 ether 00:02:6f:20:8f:4a media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect ) status: associated ssid apname channel 36 (5180) bssid 00:02:6f:20:8f:4a authmode OPEN privacy OFF deftxkey UNDEF powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 txpowmax 28 txpower 60 rtsthreshold 2346 fragthreshold 2346 -pureg protmode CTS -wme ssid SHOW apbridge dtimperiod 1 bintval 100 %ifconfig ath0 mode 11g %ifconfig -v ath0 ath0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.2.187 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255 inet6 fe80::202:6fff:fe20:8f4a%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 ether 00:02:6f:20:8f:4a media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g status: associated ssid apname channel 1 (2412) bssid 00:02:6f:20:8f:4a authmode OPEN privacy OFF deftxkey UNDEF powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 txpowmax 36 txpower 60 rtsthreshold 2346 fragthreshold 2346 -pureg protmode CTS -wme ssid SHOW apbridge dtimperiod 1 bintval 100 %ifconfig ath0 mode 11a %ifconfig -v ath0 ath0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.2.187 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255 inet6 fe80::202:6fff:fe20:8f4a%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 ether 00:02:6f:20:8f:4a media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11a status: associated ssid apname channel 36 (5180) bssid 00:02:6f:20:8f:4a authmode OPEN privacy OFF deftxkey UNDEF powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 txpowmax 28 txpower 60 rtsthreshold 2346 fragthreshold 2346 -pureg protmode CTS -wme ssid SHOW apbridge dtimperiod 1 bintval 100
