Atheros AR5006X Wireless A/B/G Mini - auto channel breaks it
-
I am using the latest snapshot:
1.2.1-RC1
built on Sat Oct 18 05:40:25 EDT 2008The latest snapshot if I set the channel option to "auto" it breaks it. But if I pick a channel it works fine including channel 6 (turbo?).
I get this error in the console if I set it to auto: ath_chan_set: unable to reset channel 6 (2437 Mhz, flags 0x690 hal flags 0x150)
I just installed this card via mini-PCI adapter last night and FreeBSD was able to identify it with no problems. So not sure what is up.
Thanks,

That's with it set to channel 6, what's it show when it's set to auto? then manually run it, what does that show?
-
If I set it to auto I get that error when it tries to switch to channel 6 which I assume it would start off at channel 6 and then scan around for best clear channel.
If I set it manually to channel 6 it works fine, just not in auto.
I can also select other channels and it works fine.
I have a feeling the auto is not reading the configuration information correctly which may work fine for other wi-fi cards while mine is a little picky with certain settings.
