SR71-A (AR9160) no longer detected in FreeBSD 9

[Shant Kassardjian]

Just to make sure I got everything right:


ifconfig_wlan0="inet 172.25.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.224 ssid test mode 11na channel 64:ht/40 txpower 5 -ampdutx mac:allow"


does this look right to you?


I would like to run 802.11n only @ 5ghz frequencies...

I can not find any documentation on how to disable ampdutx, is it a command or a patch that I need to apply? I would be willing to test out.

Yes, it will support that.

Please note - 802.11n TX is not gonig to work in 9.0 - you have to disable ampdutx.

Hi Adrian,


I can't believe I forgot to include that! weird that it was working without it in 8.2!



I added back:  options         ATH_ENABLE_11N      and device ath_pci and recompiling! :)




btw, do you know if AR9160 can support multiple SSIDs in hostap mode? Example, I would like to create one 802.11a SSID network and another 802.11n or 802.11g  network...

Hi,

Try including the ath_pci device in your kernel config file.

Sorry about that! :)
