https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=255337 --- Comment #7 from John Nielsen <john@jnielsen.net> --- (In reply to Robert Clausecker from comment #6) Robert, can you post the ath0 section from the output of "pciconf -v"? The original reporter, myself and the referenced GhostBSD issue all appear to have Dell (subvendor 0x1028) Wireless 1601/1901 devices with subdevice ID 0x020d. The card does not have any special .driver_data hints in either FreeBSD (https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/sys/dev/ath/if_ath_pci_devlist.h) or Linux (e.g. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/pci.c), but the card works fine under Linux. My mostly-uneducated guess is that FreeBSD is missing a workaround or initialization step for the HAL that is present in Linux that leads to the symptoms of a bogus MAC address and nonfunctional scanning. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
