Just reporting in.. The patch worked EXCELLENT, not a single error during patching (Which I had loads of before) and not a single issue compiling the kernel. Here's exactly what I did: 1. Popped in my original 6.0-BOOTONLY ISO image, with a wired ethernet connection plugged in. 2. Chose the MINIMAL install, and only chose the cvsup-without-gui package, bash, and lynx (to view the handbook or websites). 3. Edited the stock 'standard-supfile' and synced my source tree (To 6.1-PRERELEASE) 4. cd /usr/src , then patch -p0 < /path/to/ath.patch (You have to manually type in which files to patch though once the process starts, the ath.patch refers to a customized /usr/ncvs directory which doesn't exist) and patched each file respectively. 5. cd /usr/src/sys/contrib/dev and renamed the original ath directory, unpacked the ath_hal-20051212.tgz here and renamed it in place of the original ath 6. make buildworld , make buildkernel , make installkernel, reboot, mergemaster -p, make installworld 7. created a real simple /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file for my network, with my WPA2 PSK and home network SSID info in it 8. added 'ifconfig_ath0=3D"ssid my_ssid WPA DHCP" ' to /etc/rc.conf 9. manually loaded the if_ath module to make sure I got the dmesg info and it displayed itself properly, which it did, then added 'if_ath_load=3D"YES" , and , wlan_ccmp_load=3D"YES" ' to my /boot/loader.conf file to make sure they loaded automatically; rebooted again for good measure and to bring everything up, and voila!!works like a charm! My WPA2 home network finally works with my laptop!! Just wanted to say thanks again, I can now actually make use of this laptop and use it all over the house Excellent job!! Thanks!!
