Hi guys. I have a problem with ath wireles driver, when I try configure this in /etc/hostname.ath0 I received this error (/var/log/messages):
Sep 2 19:26:28 babilonia /bsd: ath0: unable to reset hardware; hal status 0 Sep 2 19:26:49 babilonia /bsd: ath0: unable to reset hardware; hal status 0 Sep 2 19:27:03 babilonia /bsd: ath0: unable to reset hardware; hal status 4096 I read man and I see: ath%d: unable to reset hardware; hal status %u The Hardware Access Layer was unable to reset the hardware as requested. The status code is ex-plained in the HAL include file /sys/dev/ic/ar5xxx.h. This should not happen. I review ar5xxx.h library but I do not understand this function (I am researching more about this and how programming driver but the process is slow). /* Reset functions */ \ _t HAL_BOOL (_a _n##_reset)(struct ath_hal *, HAL_OPMODE, \ HAL_CHANNEL *, HAL_BOOL change_channel, HAL_STATUS *status); \ _t void (_a _n##_set_opmode)(struct ath_hal *); \ _t HAL_BOOL (_a _n##_calibrate)(struct ath_hal*, \ HAL_CHANNEL *); \ So, I try setting linux in a pendrive, config the wireless and... eureka, this run.... what is the difference between ar5k and madwifi?, how I can help to find a solution for this problem. PS. Sorry, I forgot this... I run OpenBSD 4.6 snapshots whit last version of ar5xxx.h, but 4.5 has the same problem. my dmesg show this wireless: ath0: AR5424 14.2 phy 7.0 rf 0.0, WOR5_ETSIC, address 00:24:2b:a0:10:3d Thanks.
