Nothing is ever received by ath0 on an Acer Aspire One A0751h-1279 under 8.2, 9.0-RELEASE, 9.0-STABLE or 10.0-CURRENT. It works on Ubuntu-10.10 (only version I tried). I also tried an AR5B95 card, and had the same results (works on Ubuntu, not on FreeBSD). I had the PCI mapping problem under 8.2 (see http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2011-June/012364.html for more info). I discussed this matter on freebsd-wireless starting with http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=87215+0+archive/2012/freebsd-wireless/20120212.freebsd-wireless Here is what shows up in dmesg.today for ath0 with the AR5BHB63 installed: ath0: <Atheros 5424/2424> mem 0xd0000000-0xd000ffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci3 ath0: AR2425 mac 14.2 RF5424 phy 7.0 and this is what shows up from pciconf -lv: ath0@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0xe00d105b chip=0x001c168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.' device = 'AR242x / AR542x Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)' class = network subclass = ethernet I boot the system and run the following commands and never get any responses: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 ifconfig wlan0 up scan ifconfig wlan0 list scan How-To-Repeat: Try to connect to a WiFi network with an Acer Aspire One A0751h-1279 netbook running FreeBSD 8.2 or later.

Hi, Let's see if you're actually _getting_ interrupts. sysctl dev.ath.0.debug=0x1000 sysctl hw.ath.hal.debug=0x80000 .. then let's see what is logged in dmesg. Adrian

I've attached a log that includes the whole boot process and almost a minute of bringing up the interface and letting it scan. I wouldn't normally dump this much log on you but I'm not sure exactly what you might need to see.
> can you attach this to the PR too? OK. I tried to attach the previous message, too, but I assume the system was unhappy with the 180KB+ log file. > There's no errors here, it's just not RX'ing anything. > > Is there an rfkill switch/button? (ie, some button that > enables/disables wifi?) It may be a function switch? There is such a switch. I have tried playing with it under FreeBSD, and got nowhere. I don't seem to have to touch it under Ubuntu (or maybe I only had to use it once). > Have you loaded > the relevant ACPI module for your laptop (which sometimes maps the > rfkill line to ACPI somehow, I don't know the real details.) Other than having FreeBSD try to use ACPI, I don't know anything about this. This appears in the boot log, and might be relevant: Feb 20 16:11:25 halfpint kernel: acpi0: <ACRSYS ACRPRDCT> on motherboard Feb 20 16:11:25 halfpint kernel: ACPI Error: Could not enable PowerButton event (20120215/evxfevnt-217) Feb 20 16:11:25 halfpint kernel: ACPI Warning: Could not enable fixed event 0x2 (20120215/evxface-575) Feb 20 16:11:25 halfpint kernel: acpi0: Power Button (fixed) Feb 20 16:11:25 halfpint kernel: acpi0: reservation of 3f800000, 70800000 (3) failed Feb 20 16:11:25 halfpint kernel: cpu0: <ACPI CPU> on acpi0 Feb 20 16:11:25 halfpint kernel: cpu1: <ACPI CPU> on acpi0 How do I find out if there is an ACPI module available, and if so, how to load and enable it? When I got this netbook it had a dead hard disk (i.e. no software), and no useful documentation. I have downloaded the available user and quick start guides from Acer but I don't see much useful info.
batch change: For bugs that match the following - Status Is In progress AND - Untouched since 2018-01-01. AND - Affects Base System OR Documentation DO: Reset to open status. Note: I did a quick pass but if you are getting this email it might be worthwhile to double check to see if this bug ought to be closed.
