Hello all, first of all I would like to thank Sam L. and others how helped with 80211ieee and atheros driver. Your work in last months is great ! With new ath_hal in source in RELENG_6 I decided to buy 2 new Wistron WNC CM10 with MAC chip AR5414A to connect 2 nodes with distance 3,5 km. My problem is associated or not. One side where is hostap show this: # ifconfig ath1 list sta ADDR AID CHAN RATE RSSI IDLE TXSEQ RXSEQ CAPS ERP 00:0b:6b:XX:YY:ZZ 1 108 6M 33 180 1200 16 E 0 WME RSSI=33, okay 33-95 = -62 dBm A datasheet for CM10 said for receive sensitivity: -85dBm_at_6Mbps -67dBm_at_54Mbps So theoretically the client should work with 6-54 Mbps/s without any difference, because the RF signal is enough to associate even at 54Mbps/s. Now go to client side, and what it show: ifconfig -v ath0 ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::20b:6bff:fe2a:c78e%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 10.40.64.18 netmask 0xfffffffc broadcast 10.40.64.19 ether 00:0b:6b:XX:YY:ZZ media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/6Mbps mode 11a status: no carrier ssid PtP channel 108 (5540) bssid 00:00:00:00:00:00 authmode OPEN privacy OFF deftxkey UNDEF powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 txpowmax 37 txpower 63 rtsthreshold 2346 mcastrate 1 fragthreshold 2346 pureg protmode OFF wme burst roaming AUTO bintval 100 AC_BE cwmin 4 cwmax 10 aifs 3 txopLimit 0 -acm ack cwmin 4 cwmax 10 aifs 3 txopLimit 0 -acm AC_BK cwmin 4 cwmax 10 aifs 7 txopLimit 0 -acm ack cwmin 4 cwmax 10 aifs 7 txopLimit 0 -acm AC_VI cwmin 3 cwmax 4 aifs 2 txopLimit 94 -acm ack cwmin 3 cwmax 4 aifs 2 txopLimit 94 -acm AC_VO cwmin 2 cwmax 3 aifs 2 txopLimit 47 -acm ack cwmin 2 cwmax 3 aifs 2 txopLimit 47 -acm ifconfig ath0 list ap SSID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS PtP 00:0b:6b:XX:YY:ZZ 108 54M 24:0 100 E WME It said "no carrier". RF signal on client side is lower, okay but 24-95 is -71dBm so it is enough signal strength to associate to AP at the minimum 6 Mbps/s. But it does not work. Any operation at both side like ifconfig ath0 down and up do not help me. How can hostap side say: "yes I see my client, it is accossiated to me with this mac", and client say: "yes I see my ap, but I could not associate to ap, even if I should associate to ap" ??? Any help is very appreciated. P.S.: ath_hal, ath driver and ath sample rate is compiled to my custom kernel.
