Atheros wireless card - 2 interfaces both only work 802.11g
-
My 9285 also fails when channel is set to auto.
If I set mine to minimum standard n, I can still connect from a Windows laptop. The laptop shows an n connection.
I'm getting some errors in the logs- perhaps only when I change a setting and it reloads the interface…
kernel: ath0: ath_reset_grablock: didn't finish after 10 iterations
kernel: ath0: ath_reset_grablock: warning, recursive reset path!
kernel: ath0: ath_chan_set: concurrent reset! Danger!
But it seems to be working… -
If you set the "minimum wireless standard" to 'N' - can you still connect?
-
Yes.

Hello,
I am a SE for a wireless company and the 802.11n spec states that if using any authentication method other than WPA2 will result in a max connection speed of 54M. A few responses ago someone asked if you are using WPA2? Has this been checked? Just a thought.

Are you seeing this?
@https://wiki.freebsd.org/dev/ath(4)/80211n:
"ifconfig -v wlan0 list channel" should show 802.11n channels "ht"

Apparently not… this is the output...

Looks like you are seeing 'ht' channels. No 5GHz channels though. Not really sure what you should be seeing though, I don't have a card to test.

OK… since I can get a new card for $5-$6 on eBay, it's about time to give up...
From what I've been able to google, it appears that both the Intel 5100 or Intel Centrino 6230 should work. Can anyone confirm one of them working at 802.11n speed under 2.2?
-
Unless something has changed, you can't run Intel cards in AP mode…
Edit- Here is the list from 2.1
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AojFUXcbH0ROdHgwYkFHbkRUdV9hVWljVWl5SXkxbFE&hl=en#gid=1Basically, Atheros, RaLink, or Marvell.

Yep. Looks like it's the same in 2.2.
@https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=iwn&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+10.1-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html:iwn supports station and monitor mode operation.
Stick with Atheros. At this point it seems by far the best supported wifi hardware in FreeBSD.
