Created attachment 246572 [details] error-messages Hello everyone. I ran into a problem, if someone could test it I would appreciate it: System: FreeBSD 14.0 - fresh install USB wifi dongle - Realtek RTL8192EU Modules: rtwn if_rtwn_usb I configure the wlan0 interface: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev rtwn0 wlanmode hostap ifconfig wlan0 inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid FreeBSD-AP mode 11g channel 3 country HU the interface works: wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 77:bc:b5:1b:1c:96 inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 groups: wlan ssid FreeBSD-AP channel 3 (2422 MHz 11g) bssid 77:bc:b5:1b:1c:96 regdomain ETSI country HU authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpower 30 scanvalid 60 protmode CTS wme dtimperiod 1 -dfs parent interface: rtwn0 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g <hostap> status: running nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> I'm setting up hostapd: /etc/hostapd.conf: ssid=FreeBSD-AP interface=wlan0 channel=3 country_code=HU ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd hw_mode=g wmm_enabled=1 logger_syslog=-1 logger_syslog_level=2 wpa=2 wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK WPA-EAP wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP wpa_passphrase=PASSWORD Hostapd starts: At this moment, the dongle will stop and sends an error message that the usb device is not available. The same configuration worked perfectly on 13.2 until now. Reloading the modules doesn't make a difference either. I will send the error messages Thank you for your help.
Can you share the USB device_descr, e.g.: usbconfig -d 0.9 dump_device_desc (change -d 0.9 to the number for your rtwn); possibly also the full usbconfig output listing all devices? What is the exact error message? We'll see if this is a USB or WiFi problem. Just as a note so I don't forget -- in the future if needed -- Can you possibly also increase usb debugging changing the sysctl (from man 4 usb): hw.usb.debug Debug output level, where 0 is debugging disabled and larger values increase debug message verbosity. Default is 0.

(In reply to tamas.csabi from comment #5) > "At this moment, the dongle will stop and sends an error message that the usb device is not available." Can you help me sieving through all this by pointing out the specific error message it spits out? I tried to see it in the messages but probably been blind.
(In reply to Bjoern A. Zeeb from comment #7) On the USB dongle, the flashing LED goes off and the following message is sent: ugen1.2: <Realtek 802.11n NIC> at usbus1 (disconnected) rtwn0: at uhub2, port 1, addr 2 (disconnected) rtwn0: r92e_power_off: failed to block Tx queues rtwn0: detached usb_alloc_device: set address 2 failed (USB_ERR_IOERROR, ignored) usbd_setup_device_desc: getting device descriptor at addr 2 failed, USB_ERR_IOERROR usbd_req_re_enumerate: addr=2, set address failed!

Just as a note (related or unrelated but given I hadn't seen this before either). I just tested rtwn sta and monitor and ended up in: wlan113: link state changed to UP rtwn0: device timeout wlan113: link state changed to DOWN firmware: 'rtwn-rtl8188eufw' version 111: 13904 bytes loaded at 0xffffffff82a9d000 xhci0: Resetting controller uhub0: at usbus0, port 1, addr 1 (disconnected) ... I believe this is likely an unrelated problem but also rtwn/usb.
I have the same problem. Configuration ifconfig_wlan0="HOSTAP channel 1" - worked perfectly on FreeBSD 12.0-13.1. But on 14.0 - system run endless loop: kernel: rtwn0: MAC/BB RTL8812AU, RF 6052 2T2R kernel: wlan0: Ethernet address: cc:95:d7:XX:XX:XX kernel: ugen0.4: <Realtek 802.11n NIC> at usbus0 (disconnected) kernel: rtwn0: at uhub1, port 3, addr 4 (disconnected) kernel: rtwn0: r12a_power_off: could not turn off MAC kernel: rtwn0: detached ...
(In reply to abob from comment #10) It also works perfectly for me on freebsd 13.2. I recompiled the modules, installed another hostapd, but it doesn't work on 14.0.
