It is correctly recognized and configured. I have an ath0 device and I can create an wlan0 without problems. I can even scan with wlan0 and sometimes I see my wireless router. The problem is when wpa_supplicant tries to register with the network that it fails. BTW, I have a WEP system with long key (13 hex digits). I have sniffed the wireless network with another computer and the packets seem to be all correct: the Eee PC sends correct packets to the air, and the wifi router replies them correctly, but wpa_supplicant reports "registration timed out", as if it wasn't receiving the packets. It is nevertheless very strange because around 2-3 weeks ago I had the STABLE branch installed on the same Eee PC and the wifi worked (not always, but it succedeed always when it was near the router and the PC was just being rebooted). I have compiled my kernel with AH_DEBUG and ATH_DEBUG so I can also send dmesg traces if anyone can analyze them. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-i386->freebsd-net Responsible-Changed-By: linimon Responsible-Changed-When: Mon Jun 28 04:29:48 UTC 2010 Responsible-Changed-Why: Over to maintainer(s). http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=148112 Date: Wed, 28 Jul 2010 23:43:27 -0400 From: Troye Johnson To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, izaera@gmail.com Subject: Re: kern/148112, follow up --000e0cd5926c85ce85048c7e89d8 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Well I have the same card and system as the PR submitter.

The wireless works more or less, but has very weak reception. I have to be within about 20 feet of the wireless router at home, or I lose the connection. I have not been able to use it at all at work. Not sure if the weak connection could be a driver issue, but as I'm seeing the same log messages, I thought a followup was in order. I ruled out a hardware problem by booting easypeasy from a USB stick. Wireless performance in easypeasy was fine.
