I was wondering if it was possible to use the atheros driver in FreeBSD 4.9, because my laptop doesn't seem to like the 5.2 Release ( gets stuck before starting sysinstall when I try installing it, as it has unfortunately done since 5.X ). If so, where can I download it? If it isn't possible to use the atheros driver, which loader.conf "switches" would you recommend trying? I suspect the computer freezes when polling the sound card (it does so in FreeBSD 4.9), which is in pci1, I believe... Thanks again and have a great time!
