Hello,
I have migrated a machine from 6.2-STABLE to 7.0-BETA4; this machine is
configured as an access point, with the following PCI card:
ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xfbed0000-0xfbedffff irq 18 at device 2.0 on pci2
With the same configuration, which used to work without any problem on
6.2-STABLE, the machine freezes when I launch hostapd, since I have
installed a 7.0-BETA4.
The following error is displayed:
ath0: IEEE 802.11 Fetching hardware channel/rate support not supported.
Hereunder is a complete typescript:

and at this point the machine is no more responsive.
Is this a known problem? I have found some similar messages in the
madwifi archives, but no freeze, and nothing related to FreeBSD.
Best regards,
