FreeBSD 7.2@amd64 atheros problem ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)
Hello,
I would like to use TL-WN550G/TL-WN551G (atheros) as hostap. This hardware used to work with FreeBSD 7.0@i386 out-of-box. Following lines was added to /boot/loader.conf: if_ath_load="YES" wlan_xauth_load="YES" wlan_scan_ap_load="YES" wlan_scan_sta_load="YES" margor# dmesg | grep ath ath0: <Atheros 2413> mem 0xeffe0000-0xeffeffff irq 21 at device 1.0 on pci1 ath0: [ITHREAD] ath0: WARNING: using obsoleted if_watchdog interface ath0: Ethernet address: 00:1d:0f:b4:f0:f0 ath0: mac 7.8 phy 4.5 radio 5.6 ath0: device timeout Well I tried to set up basic access point: margor# ifconfig ath0 ssid freebsdap mode 11g mediaopt hostap margor# ifconfig ath0 ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:1d:0f:b4:f0:f0 inet 10.1.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.1.1.255 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g <hostap> status: no carrier ssid freebsdap channel 8 (2447 Mhz 11g) authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpower 31.5 scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi11g 7 roam:rate11g 5 protmode CTS burst dtimperiod 1 I got in dmesg: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4) ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4) ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4) ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4) When I reapeated the last activity: margor# ifconfig ath0 ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:1d:0f:b4:f0:f0 inet 10.1.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.1.1.255 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g <hostap> status: associated ssid freebsdap channel 1 (2412 Mhz 11g) bssid 00:1d:0f:b4:f0:f0 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpower 31.5 scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi11g 7 roam:rate11g 5 protmode CTS burst dtimperiod 1 However, the new ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4) are present in dmesg. The access point is now avaliable on the list of networks. It impossible to join it. Amount of errors ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4) increases a lot when I try to join it. It would be nice if you give me a tip. Thanks in advance. Is atheros not fully supported on amd64? Is that 7. 2 issue? |
