Hello all.
I am trying to use an Airlink 101 card with the atheros superG
chipset. For some reason, I am unable to get an address using
dhclient.
# ifconfig ath0 nwid <SSID> nwkey 0x1234567890 up
# dhclient ath0
just keeps discovering.
This is with current as of a couple of days ago.
ath0 at cardbus0 function 0
ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
ath0: 11g rates: ......<< 1 - 54 Mbps >
ath0: tuboG rates: ... <6- 54 Mbps>
ath0: mac 7.9 phy 4.5 radio 5.6
Using tcpdump with E10MB as the link type shows a bunch of
packets from other stations in the SSID. I can see my dhcp requests
going through.. but get no responses. I have seen this with atleast
two APs. ( a Cisco and a Netgear one)
Any suggestions/debugging ideas ? I know that the server is fine since
ral(4) and an(4) work just fine.
