Hello Eric,

It appears that you are still running the FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE kernel.
The atheros drivers are not compiled into the kernel by default.  Folks
on this list have expressed mixed results in loading the kernel modules,
so you should probably add the following lines to your kernel
configuration file and recompile your kernel:

device ath
device ath_hal
device ath_rate_onoe
device wlan   #This line should be already be in the configuration file.

You can find more information in the online handbook.

Wireless Networking:

html

Ath driver:

Configuring the kernel:

Best of luck,

Andrew Gould
