At random, I get the following kernel error: Jun 20 23:19:34 strange kernel: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4) Jun 20 23:19:34 strange kernel: ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3 Jun 20 23:21:57 strange kernel: ath0: device timeout Jun 20 23:21:58 strange kernel: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4) Jun 20 23:21:58 strange kernel: ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3 Jun 20 23:22:12 strange kernel: ath0: device timeout Jun 20 23:22:13 strange kernel: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4) Jun 20 23:22:13 strange kernel: ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3 Jun 20 23:22:27 strange kernel: ath0: device timeout Jun 20 23:22:28 strange kernel: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4) Jun 20 23:22:28 strange kernel: ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3 After which either the ath interface stop functioning, I can login and reboot, or the system crashes and reboots, or the system just locks up completely and I need to reset it. I have this line in rc.conf: ifconfig_ath0="inet 10.0.0.1/24 ssid MyWifi mode 11g channel 6 mediaopt hostap" The error occurs at about any time, including 5 in the morning when there is no wireless traffic. I see no mention of this problem in the bug reports, but did find a post from 2005. However the suggested solution seems more like a workaround. Any clues how to solve this? Can neighbouring networks using the same or adjacent channels cause this? Thanks, Erik -- Ph: +34.666334818 web: http://www.locolomo.org --------------ms030908030608030307080509 Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature; name="smime.p7s" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7s" Content-Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature MIAGCSqGSIb3DQEHAqCAMIACAQExCzAJBgUrDgMCGgUAMIAGCSqGSIb3DQEHAQAAoIIK6DCC BXAwggRYoAMCAQICBEVUK6IwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEFBQAwMTELMAkGA1UEBhMCREsxDDAKBgNV BAoTA1REQzEUMBIGA1UEAxMLVERDIE9DRVMgQ0EwHhcNMDYxMTE1MDgzMTU0WhcNMDgxMTE1 MDkwMTU0WjB1MQswCQYDVQQGEwJESzEpMCcGA1UEChMgSW5nZW4gb3JnYW5pc2F0b3Jpc2sg dGlsa255dG5pbmcxOzAUBgNVBAMUDUVyaWsgTvhyZ2FhcmQwIwYDVQQFExxQSUQ6OTgwMi0y MDAyLTItNTQ0MzY5NzY5MzE1MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQC1/K6+GVcF UvoWJpyfhzWbu8qEOB8jU17A0dpmts7RT+ODkYq0lxJCcvvdSXNQQurvYwaPISA+EMRy+rIm rjhoyxhsM9w/XC7gELqkr1XbGt3wR0KLr5ZcRfD4HqrWM1Eh1OYxTXKod6Ox/FAqzDAy91x8 XCZzsHtiBCdgMSYxqwIDAQABo4ICzjCCAsowDgYDVR0PAQH/BAQDAgP4MCsGA1UdEAQkMCKA DzIwMDYxMTE1MDgzMTU0WoEPMjAwODExMTUwOTAxNTRaMIIBNwYDVR0gBIIBLjCCASowggEm BgoqgVCBKQEBAQEDMIIBFjAvBggrBgEFBQcCARYjaHR0cDovL3d3dy5jZXJ0aWZpa2F0LmRr L3JlcG9zaXRvcnkwgeIGCCsGAQUFBwICMIHVMAoWA1REQzADAgEBGoHGRm9yIGFudmVuZGVs c2UgYWYgY2VydGlmaWthdGV0IGfmbGRlciBPQ0VTIHZpbGvlciwgQ1BTIG9nIE9DRVMgQ1As IGRlciBrYW4gaGVudGVzIGZyYSB3d3cuY2VydGlmaWthdC5kay9yZXBvc2l0b3J5LiBCZW3m cmssIGF0IFREQyBlZnRlciB2aWxr5XJlbmUgaGFyIGV0IGJlZ3LmbnNldCBhbnN2YXIgaWZ0 LiBwcm9mZXNzaW9uZWxsZSBwYXJ0ZXIuMEEGCCsGAQUFBwEBBDUwMzAxBggrBgEFBQcwAYYl aHR0cDovL29jc3AuY2VydGlmaWthdC5kay9vY3NwL3N0YXR1czAgBgNVHREEGTAXgRVub3Jn YWFyZEBsb2NvbG9tby5vcmcwgYQGA1UdHwR9MHswS6BJoEekRTBDMQswCQYDVQQGEwJESzEM MAoGA1UEChMDVERDMRQwEgYDVQQDEwtUREMgT0NFUyBDQTEQMA4GA1UEAxMHQ1JMMTU1NzAs oCqgKIYmaHR0cDovL2NybC5vY2VzLmNlcnRpZmlrYXQuZGsvb2Nlcy5jcmwwHwYDVR0jBBgw FoAUYLWF7FZkfhIZJ2cdUBVLc647+RIwHQYDVR0OBBYEFPd+a0ceJ9JmK934UXsB3G0mjv+f MAkGA1UdEwQCMAAwGQYJKoZIhvZ9B0EABAwwChsEVjcuMQMCA6gwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEFBQAD ggEBAE9KhX+l/ZcnhvGPhHyWnJspyCXSiuqZ+GlgMdcKXtlu8kXsqNzfDe9qSs93++zJS+HT vAW0QgyIxjY1VpgCqgyjU8e2d2D1eSRMDB09WViZk8oZkvOy0Mq3yy//CLSw3gQbXNZF+Yt+ htss+FD+idACVyRBQqlcHuaxjguyzZkK0fGBN5H5nsklDySQCU7X0i3egeIiL7zlV3cjp9KT 12tNG4jfQTaSUzBkz0R+x+Jcdyp6AI9Qg3H1iGDDI58aCTY5ohQBpDsUcLr6U842IACNCeub qDP6nDo5lnMEXwGH/RO8r4supCf5wrNRjqEX/vokUzB5QfDGtmxxZkycaaQwggVwMIIEWKAD AgECAgRFVCuiMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAMDExCzAJBgNVBAYTAkRLMQwwCgYDVQQKEwNUREMx FDASBgNVBAMTC1REQyBPQ0VTIENBMB4XDTA2MTExNTA4MzE1NFoXDTA4MTExNTA5MDE1NFow dTELMAkGA1UEBhMCREsxKTAnBgNVBAoTIEluZ2VuIG9yZ2FuaXNhdG9yaXNrIHRpbGtueXRu aW5nMTswFAYDVQQDFA1FcmlrIE74cmdhYXJkMCMGA1UEBRMcUElEOjk4MDItMjAwMi0yLTU0 NDM2OTc2OTMxNTCBnzANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOBjQAwgYkCgYEAtfyuvhlXBVL6Fiacn4c1 m7vKhDgfI1NewNHaZrbO0U/jg5GKtJcSQnL73UlzUELq72MGjyEgPhDEcvqyJq44aMsYbDPc P1wu4BC6pK9V2xrd8EdCi6+WXEXw+B6q1jNRIdTmMU1yqHejsfxQKswwMvdcfFwmc7B7YgQn YDEmMasCAwEAAaOCAs4wggLKMA4GA1UdDwEB/wQEAwID+DArBgNVHRAEJDAigA8yMDA2MTEx NTA4MzE1NFqBDzIwMDgxMTE1MDkwMTU0WjCCATcGA1UdIASCAS4wggEqMIIBJgYKKoFQgSkB AQEBAzCCARYwLwYIKwYBBQUHAgEWI2h0dHA6Ly93d3cuY2VydGlmaWthdC5kay9yZXBvc2l0 b3J5MIHiBggrBgEFBQcCAjCB1TAKFgNUREMwAwIBARqBxkZvciBhbnZlbmRlbHNlIGFmIGNl cnRpZmlrYXRldCBn5mxkZXIgT0NFUyB2aWxr5XIsIENQUyBvZyBPQ0VTIENQLCBkZXIga2Fu IGhlbnRlcyBmcmEgd3d3LmNlcnRpZmlrYXQuZGsvcmVwb3NpdG9yeS4gQmVt5nJrLCBhdCBU REMgZWZ0ZXIgdmlsa+VyZW5lIGhhciBldCBiZWdy5m5zZXQgYW5zdmFyIGlmdC4gcHJvZmVz c2lvbmVsbGUgcGFydGVyLjBBBggrBgEFBQcBAQQ1MDMwMQYIKwYBBQUHMAGGJWh0dHA6Ly9v Y3NwLmNlcnRpZmlrYXQuZGsvb2NzcC9zdGF0dXMwIAYDVR0RBBkwF4EVbm9yZ2FhcmRAbG9j b2xvbW8ub3JnMIGEBgNVHR8EfTB7MEugSaBHpEUwQzELMAkGA1UEBhMCREsxDDAKBgNVBAoT A1REQzEUMBIGA1UEAxMLVERDIE9DRVMgQ0ExEDAOBgNVBAMTB0NSTDE1NTcwLKAqoCiGJmh0 dHA6Ly9jcmwub2Nlcy5jZXJ0aWZpa2F0LmRrL29jZXMuY3JsMB8GA1UdIwQYMBaAFGC1hexW ZH4SGSdnHVAVS3OuO/kSMB0GA1UdDgQWBBT3fmtHHifSZivd+FF7AdxtJo7/nzAJBgNVHRME AjAAMBkGCSqGSIb2fQdBAAQMMAobBFY3LjEDAgOoMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAA4IBAQBPSoV/ pf2XJ4bxj4R8lpybKcgl0orqmfhpYDHXCl7ZbvJF7Kjc3w3vakrPd/vsyUvh07wFtEIMiMY2 NVaYAqoMo1PHtndg9XkkTAwdPVlYmZPKGZLzstDKt8sv/wi0sN4EG1zWRfmLfobbLPhQ/onQ AlckQUKpXB7msY4Lss2ZCtHxgTeR+Z7JJQ8kkAlO19It3oHiIi+85Vd3I6fSk9drTRuI30E2 klMwZM9EfsfiXHcqegCPUINx9YhgwyOfGgk2OaIUAaQ7FHC6+lPONiAAjQnrm6gz+pw6OZZz BF8Bh/0TvK+LLqQn+cKzUY6hF/76JFMweUHwxrZscWZMnGmkMYICKjCCAiYCAQEwOTAxMQsw CQYDVQQGEwJESzEMMAoGA1UEChMDVERDMRQwEgYDVQQDEwtUREMgT0NFUyBDQQIERVQrojAJ BgUrDgMCGgUAoIIBRzAYBgkqhkiG9w0BCQMxCwYJKoZIhvcNAQcBMBwGCSqGSIb3DQEJBTEP Fw0wNzA2MjAyMTQ3MDRaMCMGCSqGSIb3DQEJBDEWBBS3rAyUv09Hg0GKLd9RHCei9RdLxzBI BgkrBgEEAYI3EAQxOzA5MDExCzAJBgNVBAYTAkRLMQwwCgYDVQQKEwNUREMxFDASBgNVBAMT C1REQyBPQ0VTIENBAgRFVCuiMEoGCyqGSIb3DQEJEAILMTugOTAxMQswCQYDVQQGEwJESzEM MAoGA1UEChMDVERDMRQwEgYDVQQDEwtUREMgT0NFUyBDQQIERVQrojBSBgkqhkiG9w0BCQ8x RTBDMAoGCCqGSIb3DQMHMA4GCCqGSIb3DQMCAgIAgDANBggqhkiG9w0DAgIBQDAHBgUrDgMC BzANBggqhkiG9w0DAgIBKDANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASBgAuqM7ZEKQGUIeoGToRAi3MkAoGz B2loHlkE/1ew43xcjEU9+MTbap+9IciIIMNZe2wzZFP0ew1mprSay4EQYTV0ENDtefjOvs8z H+MzfSeN5lqoZ3Ag4e4XeXBNzmBnNXwhI1s3nAwHobKTurOHkC0+2z1eYPeGPG5Z/6Xmta0x AAAAAAAA --------------ms030908030608030307080509--
