I thought that recent PCI routing changes made the ath driver work, but in fact it was a combination of other bugs that made this possible. Specifically, there's a recent screwup that makes the default kernel module load path "/boot/modules" instead of "/boot/kernel". On startup, ACPI doesn't load. For quite a long time now, the T40 would panic when booting without ACPI, but apparently that's fixed. Now successfully booted without ACPI, if_ath loads and works perfectly (in fact I'm posting this via WiFi). Apologies to Nate, for saying I tested his most recent patch, when it was quietly skipped on loading. When I force a valid kernel module load path from the loader, ACPI loads OK, but ath refuses to work after loading with the same hardware errors reported. Jeff Katcher
