Sorry if I sound like a noob. =20 I have a linksys WPC55AG wifi card in my laptop. when i boot up with = the default kernel it finds cbb0, pccard0, and cardbus0. i found the ath drivers and added the 3 lines from man ath into a CUSTOM kernel file = which i cp from GENERIC kernel. i recompiled the kernel using CUSTOM. i then = added the ath driver load line to loader.conf in the /boot folder. =20 I still can not get the wireless card to power up. When I plug it in, = the green link light flashes then goes off, and I hear my speaker of my pc click. But it never shows in dmesg or in /dev/net. =20 Am I doing something wrong? This is an alienware laptop M7700 with = pentium 4 3.4ghz, and everything except my sound card is working fine.
