To rule out pilot error, I now test with both the 6.3 and 7.0 from disk 1 of the install CD's. Both have ath compiled in. Booting from a laptop, ath is seen just fine. I use sysinstall to configure ath, enter a shell and play with ifconfig etc. When I boot on the system that has the pci->cardbus adapter, ath isn't detected at all. On this same system, my 802.11b (wi0) cards are detected just fine. MikeC
