(re-posted from: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2010-February/024646.html)
I'm having trouble getting an Xbox 360 to connect to my newly upgraded
FreeBSD based wireless access point. The Xbox 360 can successfully
locate the AP in a scan, but when trying to connect it simply fails.
I'd like to request some help in debugging this as I have no idea where
to start.
The FreeBSD box is running 8-RELEASE.
Datapoints:
1. The Xbox connected successfully to my FreeBSD 7-RELEASE based AP with
no issues.
2. The Xbox connected successfully to multiple off the shelf consumer
grade APs I have sitting around.
3. The Xbox cannot connect to a Linux based AP using madwifi-0.9.4 or
later trunk versions. It also cannot connect using the (more recent)
ath5k driver on Linux. I only mention this as I tried setting up a
Slackware box out of frustration to no avail. (FYI - there is a very old
ticket on the madwifi site that was never closed with the exact problem
that I am having: http://madwifi-project.org/ticket/1509)
4. Many other devices are connecting successfully to the 8-RELEASE AP
including a couple of netbooks, a laptop, a Canon wireless printer, an
iPod touch, a BlackBerry, and an Apple Wireless bridge.
5. The network is using WPA2-PSK through hostapd. Turning off
authentication and opening the network completely does not help.

The hardware is a Cisco Aironet PCI card with an Atheros 5212 chip:
