This is the most recent athn manual page for NetBSD. I'm assuming your using a usb wifi dongle based on one of the following chips:
Quote:
AR9271 2GHz 1x1:1 USB 2.0
AR9287+AR7010 2GHz 2x2:2 USB 2.0
|
I would first review your
dmesg(4) to verify that the device is recognized. Also verify that you have the firmware files:
/libdata/firmware/athn-ar7010
/libdata/firmware/athn-ar7010-11
/libdata/firmware/athn-ar9271
There are also some syntax errors as posted
Code:
wpa_supplicants_flags=«-B –i athn0 –c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf»
critical_filesystems_local=«/var /usr»
the <<>> should be double quotes ",
Lastly, I have had better results using dhcpcd as described in this
wiki.
