hi all.. i'm having trouble getting an ath card to work properly ifconfig output: ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::280:c8ff:fe16:eb4b%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 ether 00:80:c8:16:eb:4b media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps) status: associated ssid accesspoint 1:accesspoint channel 6 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 wepmode OFF weptxkey 1 output of wicontrol: C serial number: [ ] Station name: [ myhost ] SSID for IBSS creation: [ accesspoint ] Current netname (SSID): [ accesspoint ] Desired netname (SSID): [ accesspoint ] Current BSSID: [ 00:0f:66:8b:60:13 ] Channel list: [ ffe 0 1510 1515 1 0 0 0 0 2320 23 ] IBSS channel: [ 6 ] Current channel: [ 6 ] Comms quality/signal/noise: [ 0 32 0 ] Promiscuous mode: [ Off ] Intersil-Prism2 based card: [ 1 ] Port type (1=BSS, 3=ad-hoc): [ 1 ] MAC address: [ 00:80:c8:16:eb:4b ] TX rate (selection): [ 0 ] TX rate (actual speed): [ 11 ] RTS/CTS handshake threshold: [ 2312 ] Create IBSS: [ Off ] Access point density: [ 1 ] Power Mgmt (1=on, 0=off): [ 0 ] Max sleep time: [ 100 ] WEP encryption: [ Off ] TX encryption key: [ 1 ] Encryption keys: [ ][ ][ ][ ] it dies see the router because it has status: associated and the channel setting is the one off the accesspoint. when i turn the nic off and try to ping out i get: ping: sendto: Network is down. network is not down because if i turn the nic on again i can do the ping. the router is common syslink one and the wireless setup is the basic/default one with no wep yet. i should say that the card was able to ping th router when the nic card didn't come up - that happens sometimes on this machine - t20 thinkpad. freebsd 5.2.1 is it an irq thing between the two cards? what else needs to be done in order to get the card working? thanks...
