ral0 problem
With the upgrade to OpenBSD 3.7, I decided it was time to upgrade from
802.11b to 802.11g. I went out and bought a linksys card (Ralink
RT2560 based).
I pulled out my old wi0 card and put in the ral0 card, updated my pf
rules and hostname.if file, and tried to connect, but KisMAC and
iStumbler dont see it from my laptop. If I put the old wi0 card back
in, everything works fine. I've also tried OpenBSD-current as of half
an hour ago and it still doesn't work.
I also tried connecting to an existing network. It can associate, and
dhclient gets an address. However, no data gets transfered over the
interface once connected.
Anyone have an idea what I'm missing or what I can do to help debug the driver?

Re: ral0 problem
Nevermind that "almost working" comment, if I walk more than 15 feet
away from the base station the signal goes from 75 to 0. Time to dump
this cheap card. Does anyone know if ath works well with a pci 2.1?

ath0 troubles
I just bought an Atheros based Netgear 311T to replace my ailing
wi0[1] card. I put it in, updated my pf and bridge config files to
point to ath0 instead of wi0, and I can't connect. KisMAC doesn't see
it from my laptop either. Instead, I get "ath0: device timeout"
repeating over and over in my dmesg and /var/log/messages. The man
page simply says "this should not happen." This is in the same
machine that wouldn't support a ralink based card because it isn't PCI
2.2, only a late PCI 2.1 revision.
Can anyone help me debug/fix this problem? I'm currently running a
shopshot from Aug. 8, and plan on upgrading to a current CVS version
tonight to see if that helps.
