I am using an Atheros AR9281 in a Soekris box with OpenBSD 5.9 as access point and I am quite disappointed with it. Often I get disconnected from the access point and all I can see on the OpenBSD side is tons of timeout messages in the kernel log such as:
athn0: device timeout I hope for you that that the AR9280 chip does a better job. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: An AR9280 as an Access Point Local Time: October 11, 2016 6:04 PM UTC Time: October 11, 2016 4:04 PM From: physk...@tutanota.com To: misc@openbsd.org Hello! I'd asked a related question on the OpenBSD subreddit, and someone pointed me here. Hope this is appropriate. https://www.reddit.com/r/openbsd/comments/56lzhu/which_wifi_card_to_make_an_access_point Does anyone know how good a WiFi Access Point I could make of the Atheros AR9280 card (Compex-wle200nx) offered by the guys at PC Engines: http://www.pcengines.ch/wle200nx.htm Thanks a lot!
