My work to support the Atheros 802.11 hardware is now entirely in the tree 
and enabled for use.  The ath driver supports all Atheros hardware devices 
and makes FreeBSD the first open source system to support 802.11a and 
802.11g*.  There are still issues with the driver.  man ath(4) for details.

	Sam

*First by a few days--there is also a Linux version of this software 
available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi/>.
