Hm, let me see what I was doing to build. I know I had mine working. Right. My build script: make SYSDIR='/home/adrian/work/freebsd/releng-8.0/sys' $@ (Since this laptop had the source in the above path, not /usr/src/sys) The only thing I can think of right now is that the /usr/src/sys/dev/ath/ headers are being used, rather than the modules build dir. That shouldn't effect anything though. I'll re-try building the source code on my 8.0-REL laptop and let you guys know how it goes.
