Hi,
Thanks for the link. I have given it a quick try .. and i guess i will give
it another try tomorrow, since i couldn't get it to work just yet. (didn't have
much time yet to really get into it) FYI I'm building on 8.2-RELEASE.
First the build didn't work right away.
The step mentioned in the forum thread :
$ cd ~/ath/head/sys/modules/ath && make
Failed with the message that it could not find some header files. ("dev/ath/ath_hal/ah_diagcodes.h", and others)
I added -I${.CURDIR}/../../ to the CFLAGS line in the makefile to get it to build.
After that building went just fine. However kldloading after reboot failed miserably
causing a dump and reboot.
I will drop the summary of the dump in a followup if nescesary but it came down
to a call to device_get_unit(dev = 0x0) from ath_attach().
I'm guessing that my Makefile modification wasn't all that brilliant ;)
Thanks.
Met vriendelijke groet / With kind regards,
Joao Schim

Hi!
I wrote a quick article in the freebsd forums about it. You can run
the -HEAD ath driver on -8. It will work in 11bg mode fine.
Please try this and let me know if it works!
