Hi all,
I've just booted with 8.0-CURRENT :) . And expecting my Atheros 802.11
a/b/g Wireless NIC to work with the latest HAL and driver, but to my
surprise it isn't even able to scan :( .

I've tested my wireless NIC working fine in Gentoo GNU/Linux with
ath_hal 0.10.5.6. And in FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT, I've tried both versions
of ath_hal (i.e. 0.10.5.6 and 0.10.5.10), but no success. BtW, I've
loaded wlan_tkip, wlan_ccmp, and wlan_wep kernel modules.
Any ideas how to get this wireless NIC working in FreeBSD 8-CURRENT ?
TIA
Ashish
