I'm running a Toshiba Satellite A60 (JL1) with built-in Atheros wireless. I've got 6-CURRENT from Jan 10 installed and it's giving me very nice, solid connections using either WEP or WPA (using wpa_supplicant port). There are patches for the net80211 and ath layers that apply to FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE. However, they are no longer available on the FreeBSD website, and nobody seems to have a copy of them anymore. :( These patches provided solid connections using WEP for my three Atheros cards. Maybe you'll have better luck finding them (not the Aug 24 patchset, the one after that). -- Freddie Cash, CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.
