Failure in Setting up Atheros Wireless Network Adapter (WIFI on PC: FM V-Bibilo Loox U50X/V)

installed on PC (FM V-Bibilo Loox U50X/V) via USB
fails to set-up WIFI.
In the Terminal, I could not configure WIFI:
ifconfig does not detect WIFI.
However, listdev knows the device for WIFI.
In the syslog, an error is reported in the process of setting up atheroswifi .

I verified the WIFI by rebooting Windows Vista.
Windows Vista detects WIFI and routers.
After that I rebooted to Haiku again.
Then, I collected the data and included in this bug-report.

[LeapingFrog]

I missed the entry "Platform". Should I put the machine's type in this entry?

[diver]

Please attach your full syslog.

[LeapingFrog]

I clean installed Haiku OS again and took syslog.

Process was: Booting from HD (ended up in black screen) --> rebooting from USB --> backing-up syslog --> rebooting from HD (with fail-safe-video-mode) --> copied syslog to USB.

WIFI is not functioning yet.

Syslog of first booting (witout fail-safe-video-mode)

[LeapingFrog]

Second Booting (with fail-safe-video-mode set in the booting process).

[LeapingFrog]

If it is sensible to create new ticket for "black screen after rocket is lit in the Haiku splash" on my machine, I will do it. Before that I will try to find some information in the forum. So, take these two syslogs as two examples of failure in setting up WIFI.

[LeapingFrog]

I take this opportunity of participating Haiku project. I admit I can assign only limited time to this project. On the other hand, I can manage 2 or may be 3 partitions of different revisions of Haiku. I can compare syslogs of those revisions with varying debugging options. Of course I can report the result.

[korli]

"attach" meant attach a syslog file to the ticket.

[LeapingFrog]

syslog of failure of wifi

[LeapingFrog]

another syslog of failure of wifi

[LeapingFrog]

Yes, I managed attach syslogs.

Does this device work on FreeBSD?

[waddlesplash]

Please retest after hrev52726.

No replies.

[liss21]

Netbook Lenovo S10-3. No UEFI, just BIOS
Atheros AR9285 Wireless Adapter (AR5B95). In haiku-master-hrev54010-x86_gcc2h-anyboot, panic disappeared when a card was recognized.

However, the card did not start. But should it?

syslog and listdev in attachment. In native Windows 7 starter it works fine.

[korli]

Please check on a current nightly.

[waddlesplash]

Ping again; please retest under a recent nightly, it's possible the powerstate changes may have affected this.

No replies, again.
