Possible being an N chip its the newer ath9k which i had a similiar problem under linux, but finally after getting the ath9k module loaded i could see a card was there, then a simple ifconfig wlan0 up and iwconfig wlan0 power auto under linux got it live..... so id suspect something comparable to FreeBSD would work, provided theres a drive which i believe there is might also work for you On Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 3:18 PM, Neil Short <neshort@yahoo.com> wrote: > problem: 7.2-Release doesn't detect either network device. > > Just picked up a HP DV4-2153 laptop from Costco.
