When I attempt to use my wireless card (AR5424) I get the following:
ath0: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3520208968
The number at the end changes when I try again.
I believe I've traced where the error message is thrown to a section of code
in src/sys/dev/ic/ath.c:
if (!ath_hal_reset(ah, ic->ic_opmode, &hchan, AH_TRUE, &status)) {
printf("%s: unable to reset hardware; hal status %u\n",
ifp->if_xname, status);
error = EIO;
goto done;
}
I'm going to recompile with ATH_DEBUG=10 and see if I can get more
information. I'm also trying to trace down the ath_hal_reset function
to see if I can't find something in that area.
Does anyone that's worked on a similar error have any "pointers?" Thanks.
