Novice user having woes getting Atheros card up in FreeBSD 6.0 X-BeenThere: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Production branch of FreeBSD source code List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2006 18:57:42 -0000 Yeah, someone told me about this exact card, I guess he figured it used Atheros so that meant it would work.. I wish I was so lucky. A nice fellow from Germany sent me an e-mail with a link to patching a file in the kernel, but I'm not sure how to do it.. But I guess I'll give it a try Does anyone else have any other advice for me here? Is there anything I can do or did I just purchase an absolute waste of money?
