hi ...
i'm am using linux since 1994. the last few years i used archlinux although
i allways thought about giving freebsd a try. so i did when freebsd 8 was
released.
unfortunately i can' get my atheros wireless adapter working in freebsd due
to acpi problems i guess. in linux it's working fine.
the wireless adapter is part of a fujitsu siemens u9200 notebook.
some linux outputs:
lspci -v

i have read the very well written freebsd handbook and especially the acpi
part. but the hints didn't help me getting my wireless adapter working.
here are the necessary outputs from freebsd:
pciconf -lv

adding hw.acpi.osname="Windows 2001", "Window 2006" or "Linux" to
loader.conf doesn't change anything.
kenv confirmed the parameter's new value after reboot. sysctl doesn't get
this information.
if necessary i could upload my asl dump. is there any site i could use for
dmesg respectively asl dump files?
cheers,
cengiz
