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. =20 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 =3D 0x0) from ath_attach().=20 I'm guessing that my Makefile modification wasn't all that brilliant ;) Thanks.

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.
