Hi all,

Just install FreeBSD 7.2 in my lappy Acer 5050. I checked my Atheros model as below


ath0: <Atheros 2413> mem 0xd0200000-0xd020ffff irq 21 at device 4.0 on pci8
ath0: [ITHREAD]
ath0: WARNING: using obsoleted if_watchdog interface
ath0: Ethernet address: 00:19:7d:63:cd:d3
ath0: mac 7.8 phy 4.5 radio 5.6


I already loaded if_ath_load in loader.conf and when I try to scan for a wireless access point, it just hang with any result


fry# ifconfig ath0
ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

Scanning hang..


fry# ifconfig ath0 up scan

It doesnt hang, use
ifconfig ath0 up list scan instead.
