I tried doing a -current generic kernel. It would kernel panic shortly after getty was started but I think that's another issue. After I got it to not panic, the ath driver still wouldn't attach. Here's the relevant output of pciconf. none3@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x3112168c chip=0x0030168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.' device = 'AR9300 Wireless LAN adaptor' class = network I was trying drivers off the CD I was given by the vendor. The card is a TP-LINK TL-WDN4800. I tried the XP and Vista drivers, athwx.sys and athrx.sys, but neither had any effect.
