I am attempting to get wireless working on FreeBSD 11.1 and not having much luck. Dmesg indicates it sees the USB wireless adapter; however, ifconfig and sysctl net.wlan.devices indicate nothing.



dmesg output



Realtek 802.11ac NIC
Atheros USB2.0 WLAN
Atheros UB94


I tried man ath - added the entries to /boot/loader.conf, rebooted, and nothing.



Are these devices not supported or is something else going on?



From what little I know, I do not believe this to be related to this: WiFi problems (Atheros driver) with FreeBSD 11



I do not even have /dev/ath0, if I did, I would be a little further along to getting wireless working.



The only thing I see is output in dmesg as listed.




wifi freebsd

    So you've added if_ath_load="YES" and if_ath_pci_load="YES" to loader.conf and sysctl net.wlan.devices still does not show any device, right?

  • 1. Why would I need if_ath_pci_load="YES" if it is a USB device? 2. The device isn't even showing up at all, so I need to sort that out.

            How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
