Ok then, as you said- where do we start? From what I can see in the running of the card currently is its having trouble scanning- but they maybe a ruse, I'm trying to find a way to definitively determine what is going on here. Also, once the card has started scanning it locks up and appears to 'reset' or something, so that when I run wpa_supplicant the next time round it works again- but still won't scan. I'll just run through what I did yesterday again and post the results, but I believe those results from yesterday are already there on the -questions@ list if you wish to jump the gun. I'm currently looking along the lines of what people are running atm- it just clicked with me that my card is 4965AGN, but most reference this card as BGN, so I'm wondering if thats making a difference. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
