Some, but not all, of the driver's functionality is available in ath(4). [Some of the earliest (partially-)open-source Atheros support started in FreeBSD, but the Linux drivers borrowed from this, and offer more features at the moment.] There is work being done to add more in -CURRENT -- see, for example: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2011-January/022467.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2011-February/012243.html The freebsd-current and freebsd-mobile mailing lists are better for this topic. b.
