hi all..

i'm having trouble getting an ath card to work properly

ifconfig output:
ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet6 fe80::280:c8ff:fe16:eb4b%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
	ether 00:80:c8:16:eb:4b

	status: associated
	ssid accesspoint 1:accesspoint
	channel 6 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
	wepmode OFF weptxkey 1

it dies see the router because it has status: associated and the channel
setting is the one off the accesspoint.
when i turn the nic off and try to ping out i get:

ping: sendto: Network is down.

network is not down because if i turn the nic on again i can do the ping.

the router is common syslink one and the wireless setup is the
basic/default one with no wep yet.
i should say that the card was able to ping th router when the nic card
didn't come up - that happens sometimes on this machine - t20 thinkpad.
freebsd 5.2.1

is it an irq thing between the two cards?


what else needs to be done in order to get the card working?

thanks...
