The signal strength is pretty weak despite my being somewhat close to the WAP. (Which is, FWIW, a node in a small Unifi zero- handoff network.) That said, I manage solid connection with this lapt= op in the same spot running Linux, and with MacBooks. I'll happily supply more diagnostic information, as needed.

It's only problematic with FreeBSD driving the hardware. I'd very much like FreeBSD to be driving this unproblematically. > I have sometimes had better luck by disabling ht20 (ifconfig wlan0 > -ht20), but I don't recall the last time I had to do that. This was briefly hopeful. I set that in rc.conf and rebooted, and I got a quick, solid connection. But then through several subsequent reboots my wifi light is flashing and connectivity is sporadic at best, with the same messages piling into the console. --=20 Mason Loring Bliss (( "In the drowsy dark cave of the mind dreams mason@blisses.org )) build their nest with fragments dropped http://blisses.org/ (( from day's caravan." - Rabindranath Tagore --nSa29feRGwiKgVww Content-Type: text/plain;
