Dear all,
with a Laptop (IBM Thinkpad T40p) running NetBSD 2.0 GENERIC_LAPTOP I have
trouble configuring the network device.
The build-in network card identifies as:
ath0 at pci2 dev 2 function 0
ath0: interrupting at irq 11
ath0: mac 4.2 phy 3.0 5ghz radio 1.7 2ghz radio 2.3
ath0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
ath0: 802.11 address: 00:05:4e:41:17:6e
And sees the AP:
# wiconfig ath0 -D
AP Information
ap[0]:
netname (SSID): [ KWERTH ]
BSSID: [ 00:30:f1:c3:11:9f ]
Channel: [ 7 ]
Quality/Signal/Noise [signal]: [ 0 / 0 / 0 ]
[dBm]: [ 0 / -149 / -149 ]
BSS Beacon Interval [msec]: [ 100 ]
Capinfo: [ ESS WEP ]
DataRate [Mbps]: [ 11 ]
Furthermore, I can get a connection with a PCMCIA wi card, but when I try
to use the ath0 interface with the same configuration as the successfully
running wi0 interface, I get tons of
ath0: open authentication failed (reason 2) for 00:30:f1:c3:11:9f
messages in the syslog.
Here are the ifconfig outputs:
ath0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ssid KWERTH nwkey 0x[WEPKEY]
powersave off
address: 00:05:4e:41:17:6e

wi0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

bssid 00:30:f1:c3:11:9f chan 7

status: no network

inet6 fe80::205:5dff:feda:3557%wi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0xa
I tryed several media options (autoselect, etc.) but all give the same
results.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Torsten
