Hello, All.
`man ath' on FreeBSD 7.1-PRE speaks only about WPA2 in AR5212 and
not-supported AR5005VL. But in "current" cars here are many other
chipsets -- 5213A, 5414, etc... And Atheros site is not very helpful
now -- there are not 5212, 5213A, 5414 chipsets in both areas "WLAN
for Home, Office and Metro Wi-Fi" and "WLAN for Mobile" (BTW, link to
http://customerproducts.atheros.com/ doesn't work anymore).
Is here full list of supported chipsets, and, maybe, some table with
chipsets features (AES, WPA2, AP mode, etc)?
HEAD supports most PCI/cardbus parts. The main exceptions are the
9280 and 9285. The ath9k driver for linux supports them and anyone
can add support using that. 11n parts only support legacy operation
though w/ ~10 line change to the driver you can get 11n RX + legacy TX.
RELENG_7 has a much older hal and lacks support for many cards. I
recommend using HEAD if wireless support is important to you. No ETA
on an update by me--others are welcome to supply the changes.
All ath cards support all features you listed (except for the 5210
which you're unlikely to care about).
Sam,
I just updated my system from -stable to -current this weekend, and
I'm noticing a lot more issues with the ath driver losing its
association much more frequently, sometimes failing to reassociate
altogether. The strange part is that tcpdump shows packets being
received from the network just fine, but nothing seems to be
transmitted (although I have not stepped over to my file server to
verify this). A manual unload / reload of the module "solves" the
problem, but I get a warning about a memory leak.
I see no relevant PR's. I cannot fix problems w/o information.
Code-wise, the only difference since the "open sourcing" is simply
that we now have the code, correct?
Only difference between what? The code in the tree is my latest work.
If there are problems I will do my best to fix them given sufficient
information and/or the ability to reproduce the problem.
Sam
