Hi,
I installed FreeBSD-CURRENT
FreeBSD p00ntang.waitman.net 10.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #0: Tue Jan 31 07:08:58 PST 2012 waitman at p00ntang.waitman.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
I have three wireless networks running. I haven't got my Atheros 9280 to make the connection yet with CURRENT (looks like it's going to autoselect 802.11a mode for some reason... I'm checking this out.)
Anyway, I noticed my 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n shows up in a scan but vanishes instantly, but my 5GHz 802.11n is still in the picture.. the scan is showing BOOTAY on channel 149, which is the 5GHz channel. it should be on 2.4GHz channel 9.
here's a scan, BOOTAY will show up for about 10 secs and vanish. but the other two networks remain..
p00ntang# ifconfig wlan0 up scan | grep DA
DARKNET 1c:7e:e5:de:ed:52 149 54M -76:-96 100 EP WPS HTCAP WPA RSN WME
CUDAPANG 00:22:3f:9a:16:1b 6 54M -68:-96 100 EPS ATH
p00ntang# ifconfig wlan0 up scan | grep BOOT
BOOTAY 1c:7e:e5:de:ed:52 149 54M -73:-96 100 EP WPS HTCAP WPA RSN WME
p00ntang# ifconfig wlan0 up scan | grep BOOT
p00ntang# ifconfig wlan0 up scan | grep BOOT
p00ntang# ifconfig wlan0 up scan | grep DA
DARKNET 1c:7e:e5:de:ed:52 149 54M -77:-96 100 EP WPS HTCAP WPA RSN WME
CUDAPANG 00:22:3f:9a:16:1b 6 54M -68:-96 100 EPS ATH
p00ntang# ifconfig wlan0 up scan | grep BOOT
I really haven't done a whole heck of alot with 5GHz wireless - but I don't believe BOOTAY is running on channel 149, unless this has something to do with "mixed mode" setting on the router.
