SR71-A (AR9160) no longer detected in FreeBSD 9

[Shant Kassardjian]

Yes, in 8.x it worked perfectly fine.


I just restarted the machine and "ath0: unable to reset hardware; hal status 14 " error is gone  but still can't enable N.


core# ifconfig wlan0 channel 6:ht/40                                          
ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument

Hi Adrian,


After recompiling the kernel with device ath_pci, atheros got redetected, however 802.11n seems to not be working with the following errors:


ifconfig wlan0 destroy
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 wlanmode hostap

wlan0: Ethernet address: 00:15:6d:84:70:d5
core# ath0: unable to reset hardware; hal status 14               

.. that's worrying. That's HAL_ESELFTEST, if that fails, bad juju.


This same thing works on 8.x, right?
