Using similar configuration file for hostapd, I did test another atheros
based wlan card in same role:
ath0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x3065168c chip=0x001c168c
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
device =
'HDAUDIOFUNC_01&VEN_1095&DEV_1392&SUBSYS_10280242&REV_1000
(USBVID_147E&PID_20165&B71A446&0&1)'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
this is a pcie part, AFAIK, running on Asus F3T turion based notebook.
Runs FreeBSD 8 as well:
[matheus@xxx/usr/home/matheus]$ uname -a
FreeBSD xxx.xxx 8.0-STABLE FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #5: Sun Jan 3 16:20:25 BRT
2010 root@xxx.xxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/xxx amd64
but this time I have no message as tha other box, and the AP works fine.
