1.8b Development

Hi there!

I am just trying to setup a Compex WLM200NX on an ALIX.2D13 with Version b480 - unfortunately without success.

MW seems to detect successfully the card:

Code:

ath0: <Atheros 9280> mem 0xe00c0000-0xe00cffff irq 9 at device 12.0 on pci0
ath0: [ITHREAD]
ath0: AR9280 mac 128.2 RF5133 phy 13.0

and does also setup wlan0

Code:

wlan0: Ethernet address: 00:80:48:72:59:f5
ath0: unable to reset hardware; hal status 14
Configuring OPT2 (WLAbN) interface... ridge0: Ethernet address: b2:c8:4d:9a:d0:a6
wlan0: promiscuous mode enabled

But what means "unable to reset hardware"?

I have testet multiple combinations of channels and standards but none of my devices is able to see it.

Interface status looks like this:

Code:

WLAN interface
Status no carrier
MAC address 00:80:48:##:##:##
IPv6 address fe80::280:48ff:fe72:59f5%wlan0/64
Media autoselect <hostap>
Channel 1
SSID Friesekaas
In/out packets 0/0 (0 bytes/10 KB)
In/out errors 0/0
Collisions 0

Any advice?

Best regards

Unfortunately the Atheros 9220 chipset is not supported by FreeBSD 8.2 (the WLM200NX uses AR9220 too, even though dmesg identifies it as AR9280).

It might work with FreeBSD 9.0, but it will be a while until we have ported m0n0wall to 9.0.

Thanks, I will search for another card.
