[Madwifi-users] AR5212 nonop - 'phyerr'

[Troy E. <te...@so...>]

Trying to get a Proxim 11b/g gold card to work, using CVS as of 23:00 1/19
PST. The card is recognized (5212 chip) and it turns up fine, but
something strange is happening. I get no actual data traversing the link to
the AP, but a lot of"noise" on the interface (according to gkrellm going
nuts):

# ./athstats
13 tx management frames
4 tx failed 'cuz bogus xmit rate
11 tx frames with no ack marked
1 rx failed 'cuz of bad CRC
220 rx management frames
7029 PHY errors
    7028 OFDM timing
    1 CCK timing
1 periodic calibrations
rssi of last ack: 31 (+7)
rssi of last recvd frame: 42

What's an OFDM Timing error? (no explanation in the ah_desc.h), so I'm pretty
sure whatever this is it's causing my problems. I didn't see mention of it in
the wiki or faq as well, not sure what to look at next.

Any ideas?
