Hi guys,
I got the apu2b4 to build a wifi router with an Intel Dual Band
Wireless AC 7260 wifi module. The module firmware was loaded by
fw_update at first boot and connecting to my existing AP works but
when
I try to set it up as an access point with:
ifconfig iwm0 up media autoselect mediaopt hostap mode 11g nwid
MySSID wpakey MyKey
I get in ifconfig iwm0
...
status: no network
...
and associating/connecting from my Linux laptop does not work... I
am not even seeing the AP with this "MySSID" in the scan listing.
Any suggestions or ideas as to what might be wrong are welcome.
TIA
George
George,
iwm(4) is not capable for access point usage.
Check out https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#Wireless for a list.

Sorry but now I have another question I live in Canada and the
PCEngines website points to one reseller here and they seem to not have
the right card:
https://corpshadow.biz/bizstore/system-components/wireless-components/radio-cards/
any idea where I can get one preferably in Canada.
Thanks in advance.
George
They had the WLE200NX listed on the page:
https://corpshadow.biz/bizstore/compex/dualband-80211n-mimo-2x2-minipcie.html
If you don't like that card, you can always pick something up on ebay.

Hi,
I have one of those cards (WLE200NX ) in my APU. Be aware that OpenBSD
drivers don't give very fast performance for it. Lots about it in the
email list archives.
Mine shows up (OpenBSD 6.1) as:
athn0 at pci4 dev 0 function 0 "Atheros AR9281" rev 0x01: apic 5 int 16
athn0: AR9280 rev 2 (2T2R), ROM rev 22, address 04:f0:21:1b:b3:68
Cheers,
Steve Williams
