Hi, I just bought an Atheros 9285 for my laptop, I love it but there is a lot of this in my dmesg : ath0: bad series3 hwrate 0x1b, tries 2 ts_status 0x0 ath0: bad series3 hwrate 0x1b, tries 2 ts_status 0x0 ath0: bad series3 hwrate 0x1b, tries 2 ts_status 0x0 ath0: bad series3 hwrate 0x1b, tries 2 ts_status 0x0 I also don't understand why the option AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 is needed in kernel, I found this http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-May/006417.html and it should include it if the driver needs it, isn't it? Here my kernel won't build if I remove it so I have : options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 device ath device ath_hal device ath_rate_sample Kind regards, -- Demelier David
(I should get me an AR9285 to test with at some point.)

So something queued up a patcket at that hwrate. 0x1B is CCK_1MB_L - that should be fine in 11bg? Or is this somehow running in 11A mode? Would you please paste 'ifconfig wlan0' here?> I also don't understand why the option AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 is needed in > kernel, I found this > http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-May/006417.html > and it should include it if the driver needs it, isn't it?
