In 6.2-STABLE (16/02/2007) Tested with Dlink DWL-G510 rev C2 ( MAC/BPP RT2561C, RF RT2527 ) and with Ovislink Evo-W54PCI v.2 ( RT2561S ) PCI Cards After compiling and loading if_ral.ko module, the card appears correctly into /var/log/messages and ifconfig but doesn't work at all when trying to associate. When trying to scan AP ( ifconfig ral0 scan ) BSSID, CHAN RATE S:N INT and CAPS infos seems correct but NOT the SSID ( always SSID : 0 ) When trying to associate, status is still at "no carrier" In 7.0-CURRENT : All seems to work ( both scanning and association ) but _sometimes_ the card disassociate itself, and it's impossible to reassociate until reboot. On OpenBSD-4.1 : All works _perfectly_ Output of dmesg : ral0: MAC/BBP RT2561C, RF RT2527 ral0: Ethernet address: 00:19:5b:23:10:88 ral0: [GIANT-LOCKED] How-To-Repeat: Just insert a RT2561* chipset into a fresh 6.2-STABLE install and try to load if_ral (as module or into the kernel)
Hi again, I've made additional debug informations, and with the following command I can _sometimes_ see my AP (ssid : myssid) # while :; do ifconfig ral0 scan; done | grep myssid myssid 00:06:f4:f6:ae:11 10 11M 114:0 100 EPS I've tried to set the debug mode and seen what happens : when "myssid" is detected : Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: ieee80211_next_scan: chan 10->10 Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: ieee80211_newstate: SCAN -> SCAN Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: ieee80211_ref_node (ieee80211_send_probere q:1004) 0xc4ce3000<00:19:5b:23:10:88> refcnt 2 Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: [ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff] send probe req on chan nel 10 Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: received probe_resp from 00:06:f4:f6:ae:11 rssi 114 Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: ieee80211_setup_node 0xc4ce0400<00:06:f4:f6:ae:11> in scan table Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: [00:06:f4:f6:ae:11] new probe_resp on chan 10 (b ss chan 10) "myssid" Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: [00:06:f4:f6:ae:11] caps 0x31 bintval 100 erp 0x 0 Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: received beacon from 00:06:f4:f6:ae:11 rss i 115 Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: [00:06:f4:f6:ae:11] beacon on chan 10 (bss chan 10) 0x00 Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: received beacon from 00:06:f4:f6:ae:11 rss i 114 Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: [00:06:f4:f6:ae:11] beacon on chan 10 (bss chan 10) 0x00 Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: ieee80211_cancel_scan: end active scan Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: notify scan done Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: macaddr bssid chan rss i rate flag wep essid Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: + 00:06:f4:f6:ae:11 00:06:f4:f6:ae:11 10 114 11M ess wep "wireless" Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: _ieee80211_free_node 0xc4ce3000<00:19:5b:23:10:88> in <gone> table Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: _ieee80211_crypto_delkey: NONE keyix 65535 flags 0x3 rsc 0 tsc 0 len 0 Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: ieee80211_newstate: SCAN -> AUTH Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: ieee80211_ref_node (ieee80211_send_mgmt:11 14) 0xc4ce0400<00:06:f4:f6:ae:11> refcnt 3 Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: [00:06:f4:f6:ae:11] send auth on channel 10 Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: received auth from 00:06:f4:06:bf:0f rssi 114 Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: [00:06:f4:f6:ae:11] recv auth frame with a lgorithm 0 seq 2 Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: ieee80211_newstate: AUTH -> ASSOC Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: ieee80211_ref_node (ieee80211_send_mgmt:11 14) 0xc4ce0400<00:06:f4:f6:ae:11> refcnt 4 Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: [00:06:f4:f6:ae:11] send assoc_req on channel 10 Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: ieee80211_newstate: INIT -> SCAN Feb 19 19:21:38 beastie kernel: ral0: begin active scan in 11g mode, scangen 181 ...

Hi, I just want to confirm this bug. I tried to get it to work with a clean 6.2-stable snapshot. The correct module is loaded at startup, but scanning for networks fails (no error, it just doesn't show the networks in range).
