Accoring to Netgate.com product info for EMP-8602 it works with freeBSD 6.1 ...

They direct you to either look in the kernel tree {see wi,ath,ath(4)} or download the kernel driver from:

>The chipid is not detected. it's not in the list. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/contrib/dev/ath/ah_devid.h
Post your pciconf -lv info on the freebsdmobile mailing list and let Sam add the deviceID.
Also give the relevant info on the card I have a feeling that the AR5413 might not be supported by the 0.9.16.16 HAL.
I'll try to write a patch for this to be detected, but I'm not sure it will work. So you should ask Sam Leffler on the freebsdmobile list.
>I have spent some time researching this now. And as far as i can tell this has to be added by Sam Leffler.
Neither the madwifi drivers or the freebsd driver seem to have this deviceID.
Mail the freebsdmobile mailing list, that is the best advice i can give you.
Thank you,
-Pete
