[Resolved][FB7|wireless]Atheros 5213 cannot search AP
I added a new minipci wireless card of Atheros 5213 chipset in my laptop last week, then I make a new kernel which contains necessary entries related "ath" and "wlan", that's all according to the handbook. After finished these works my freebsd7-stable recognized this new minipci card.
But if I search for any ssid it will stop and no further response. Could someone help me diagnostic how to resolve this problem? Thanks a lot. HTML Code:
# ifconfig ath0 up scan HTML Code:
#dmesg | grep ath0
ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xfcfd0000-0xfcfdffff irq 9 at device 3.0 on pci1
ath0: [ITHREAD]
ath0: using obsoleted if_watchdog interface
ath0: Ethernet address: [numbers]
ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 radio 4.6
HTML Code:
#pciconf -lv ath0@pci0:1:3:0: class=0x020000 card=0x057e1014 chip=0x1014168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.' device = 'AR5212 Atheros AR5212 802.11abg wireless' class = network subclass = ethernet HTML Code:

Probably the radio is off
Check the below: sysctl dev.ath.0.rfkill If it is "1" , do the below to enable the radio: sysctl dev.ath.0.rfkill=0 If you want this change to be permanent, add it also on /etc/sysctl.conf This tip was mentioned there Last edited by akripo; 4th May 2008 at 03:28 PM. |
