I included all of the features except for those not currently supported by FreeBSD's version of net80211 (e.g. only WEP crypto is supported). Please test it out. It may be too late to get this checked in before the code freeze, but I think it's our best bet to have a version of the ath driver with a recent HAL but without disturbing the shared net80211 code. Download it here: http://anobject.com/jehamby/atheros_driver.tar.bz2 Extract into /usr/src. The two machines I've tested it on are a Fujitsu Lifebook N5010 w/ builtin Atheros a/b/g, and a Vaio desktop with D-Link DWL-G520 (H/W Ver: B2). dmesg output from the Fujitsu is: ath0: mem 0xec010000-0xec01ffff irq 18 at device 10.0 on pci0 ath0: mac 5.6 phy 4.1 5ghz radio 3.6 and the desktop is: ath0: mem 0xfeae0000-0xfeaeffff irq 22 at device 10.0 on pci2 ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 5ghz radio 4.6 -- Jake Hamby
