Comment (by jstressman):
I should probably mention that the code I was otherwise using was from
r38394 (gcc4hybrid with Stack and Tile enabled) and I had also merged in
the latest atheros drivers from FreeBSD-HEAD (revision 211330 of the FBSD
ath driver), duplicating the relevant changes from the original merge and
reverting the new change from IFQ_MAXLEN to ifqmaxlen (back to the
original IFQ_MAXLEN).
Before I started making those changes though, the same problem that was
introduced in r38378 was already there. DHCP had been broken for several
weeks, but up until r38378 you could still set a static IP and at least
connect momentarily before the IP would reset to 169.*. MAC addressing on
the wifi was also working prior to r38378 and broken from then on (for me
at least).
Also, the "fixed" connection isn't terribly useful, as web pages generally
don't fully load and I can't stay connected to IRC etc... but I could run
a ping on google.com and it didn't seem to be dropping any packets etc. So
it's MUCH better than it was before these changes.
Hopefully a fixed r38378 along with the properly ported atheros drivers
will improve the quality of my connection and get me back on my native
hardware again. :)
