myIve got a Dlink DWL-G520 that Ive installed into a Freebsd system. Ive set up the card with the following ifconfig_ath0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid daves channel 10 media DS11 mediaopt hostap"
This system was cvsuped and buildworld about 3 days ago. The card appears to be working because when I try to connect with my PDA it shows full Link and quality, and when I ifconfig ath0 down , the link and quality go down to nothing.
However it doesn't give out dhcp addresses over this interface. Im sure
dhcpd.conf is fine because I've used a similar one on a laptop => aka wireless access point that worked very well. So I tried to use dstumbler to see if it could detect the PDA, however it gives me the following error
error: unable to ioctl device socket: Operation now in progress
and it stays that way.
Has anyone had this issue as well or now what it means?
Verify you have the latest HAL using
sysctl hw.ath
The version should be 0.9.5.3 or better (can't remember if I committed .4 or .3). If you have an old version update. Otherwise you might try tapping 802.11 frames with tcpdump on the AP to see what's going on:
tcpdump -i ath0 -y IEEE802_11
As to dstumbler, it is intimately tied to the wi driver at the moment. I have a version that works w/ wi and ath drivers but it's a major rewrite and incomplete. If someone wants to pick it up I'd be happy to pass the (incomplete) work on...
