Bingo !
I was stuck in the same situation, and this fixed it for me.
I just upgraded from an old 6.0-current (Thu Nov 25 18:52:00 CET 2004)
to 6.0-BETA2 and my 5211 Atheros card could see traffic with tcpdump,
but not send any (according to tcpdump on both the sending and recipient
side). I could connect to my AP without this 'weptxkey 1' added to my
config :
gagh# ifconfig ath0
ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.100.28 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.100.255
ether 00:05:5d:93:17:2f
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11b (DS/11Mbps)
status: associated
ssid *** channel 6 bssid 00:0f:3d:02:79:e3
authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF wepkey 1:40-bit txpowmax 36
bintval 100
For the record, my 80211stats / athstats from just before I tried
'weptxkey 1' :
# 80211stats
12203 rx beacon frames
70 rx frame chan mismatch
13 tx failed 'cuz no defkey
17 active scans started
4 setkey failed 'cuz cipher module unavailable
# athstats
134 tx management frames
265 tx frames discarded prior to association
119 tx frames with no ack marked
28 tx frames with short preamble
4 rx failed 'cuz of bad CRC
39 periodic calibrations
2492 rate control checks
rssi of last ack: 46
Antenna profile:
[0] tx 138 rx 0
[1] tx 0 rx 12930
Btw, why are the rates gone ?

Here is the dmesg ath0 part of today's non-working version :

Note that the rates are gone. Is this OK ?
