Hi there,
I changed from WEP to WPA encryption, now the laptop is shutting down
correctly. Strange, why it is not working with WEP encryption?
The cipher modules fail to unload if there are outstanding references to
keys. When you use wpa the supplicant clears all keys before it
terminates so it may be that when you were using WEP keys they were
still present and somehow caused the shutdown to hang.
Please send me the exact steps you use to cause the problem. There
should also be console messages printed by the wlan_wep module (or other
crypto module) in the event you try to unload the module while there are
still references; please check for those.

Anyway, I am happy now!

Hello All there,
I have got a shiny new Sony Vaio VGN-FS415E, installed FBSD6, (FreeBSD
6.0-RELEASE-p4). For wireless connection there is built in an Atheros
5212 chip. I configured the kernel conf file to include all the atheros
modules according to the man ath:
device ath
device ath_hal
device ath_rate_onoe,
all works well until the machine is to be shutdown. When I enter halt
-p, or reboot, the machine starts to shut down, but stops, after the
uptime message is displayed. Nothing more happens, I have to manually
switch off the machine. The next time I switch on the machine, the oss
sound will crash the machine.
I did remember, that I had no problem to shut down the machine when the
ath modules were not used, so I cleared the ath modules from the kernel
conf file and did include if_ath into the loader.conf. Again, all is
going well until shutdown. Same bad behaviour. Then I tried to manually
unload the ath modules, only ath_rate module can be unloaded, ath_hal
gives device busy, and trying to unload the if_ath will freeze the
machine. I confirmed that the Atheros 5211 is working well, 5212 give
those problems.
Does anybody have any idea how to unload the if_ath module?
Thank you!
Andreas
