Is there a firmware/hal package/port in > ports? Jeff, One thing I am still unclear on: does ANY PCcard work on the system? It looks like CIS is not being read on your card, but if this is failing, it should be broken for all cards. Is this a PCcard issue with FreeBSD on your system or an issue with only the DWL-G650 card? Because Atheros allows FreeBSD to include the firmware in FreeBSD, is does not need to be downloaded/installed. When HAL loads, ath_hal should print the version number and a list of supported Atheros chips to the console and logs. If the system detects an Atheros device, it should list the information from the card tagged as being from ath0:. Do you see any of this? -- R.
