Sorry, I did not found your direct email address...

But my question is:
- I currently owns a laptop with an Atheros 5424/2424 embedded wireless 
controler

ath_hal: 0.10.5.6 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, AR5416, RF5111, RF5112, 
RF2413, RF5413, RF2133, RF2425, RF2417)
ath0: <Atheros 5424/2424> mem 0xd4200000-0xd420ffff irq 19 at device 0.0 
on pci6


ath0@pci0:6:0:0:    class=0x020000 card=0x04281468 chip=0x001c168c 
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
    device     = 'AR5006 family 802.11abg Wireless NIC'


With the CURRENT version of FreeBSD kernel, I still get the 9.XXX 
version for the ath driver.

Which is not working with my card.

But using your modified version:

* $Id: //depot/sw/branches/sam_hal/version.h#35 $
 */
#define    ATH_HAL_VERSION    "0.10.5.6"



The wireless is working fine (this mail a proof of it).

So, my question is: why don't you include this version into the main 
branch of .CURRENT 8.0 FreeBSD ??

actually, when you fetch sources, you get version:

#define    ATH_HAL_VERSION    "0.9.20.3"



Do you still have bugs / things to resolve ?? not enough time ??

If I can help in any way....

thanks a lot by advance, and for your driver which is working very fine...
