Hi list,

I've tried HAL v. 0.10.5.6 available at Sam Leffler's user directory[1]
in FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p2 (amd64) and Gentoo GNU/Linux (hardened/AMD64).

In Gentoo GNU/Linux, I'm able to connect to a WPA2 secured network with
no problems, whereas in FreeBSD, I'm only able to scan the Wireless
network successfully, not able to ping any box. I've tried FreeBSD with
an unencrypted network as well as encrypted network using
wpa_supplicant, but except scanning nothing worked. I can associate with
the access point, but thats it.

I'm running FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p2 kernel, just replaced
/usr/src/sys/contrib/dev/ath with the directory in tarball, and rebuilt
all modules.

abbe [ath_hal-20080528] monte-cristo% pciconf -l |grep ath0
ath0@pci0:1:0:0:        class=0x020000 card=0x137b103c chip=0x001c168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00

Any ideas ?

Tons of thanks to Sam for posting the HAL.
