Sorry I missed that Paul. Thanks for calling it to my attention. I have tried to follow the instructions in the ath and wlan manual =20 pages and the UPDATING file but my end result hasn't changed - "no =20 carrier". I'm sure that I am still missing something else. My rc.conf has changed from: >> if_ath_load=3D"yes" >> ifconfig_ath0=3D"DHCP" to # ath new config wlans_ath0=3Dwlan0 ifconfig_wlan0=3D"WPA DHCP" The only reference to ath0 being in the wlans_ath0 line. The related parts of my verbose dmesg are: ath_rate: version 1.2 <SampleRate bit-rate selection algorithm> wlan: <802.11 Link Layer> ath0: <Atheros 5424/2424> mem 0xf2200000-0xf220ffff irq 19 at device =20 0.0 on pci5 ath0: Reserved 0x10000 bytes for rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xf2200000 ioapic0: routing intpin 19 (PCI IRQ 19) to vector 64 ath0: [MPSAFE] ath0: [ITHREAD] ath0: hal channel 2412/a0 -> 1 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2412/c0 -> 1 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2417/a0 -> 2 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2417/c0 -> 2 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2422/a0 -> 3 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2422/c0 -> 3 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2427/a0 -> 4 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2427/c0 -> 4 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2432/a0 -> 5 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2432/c0 -> 5 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2437/a0 -> 6 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2437/c0 -> 6 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2442/a0 -> 7 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2442/c0 -> 7 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2447/a0 -> 8 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2447/c0 -> 8 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2452/a0 -> 9 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2452/c0 -> 9 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2457/a0 -> 10 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2457/c0 -> 10 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2462/a0 -> 11 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2462/c0 -> 11 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2467/a0 -> 12 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2467/c0 -> 12 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2472/a0 -> 13 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: hal channel 2472/c0 -> 13 maxpow 32 minpow 0 maxreg 20 ath0: WARNING: using obsoleted if_watchdog interface ath0: bpf attached ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps =20 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ath0: mac 14.2 phy 7.0 radio 10.2 ath0: Use hw queue 1 for WME_AC_BE traffic ath0: Use hw queue 0 for WME_AC_BK traffic ath0: Use hw queue 2 for WME_AC_VI traffic ath0: Use hw queue 3 for WME_AC_VO traffic ath0: Use hw queue 8 for CAB traffic ath0: Use hw queue 9 for beacons wlan0: bpf attached wlan0: Ethernet address: 00:1d:d9:27:5c:e5 wlan0: bpf attached Which in my ignorance seem fine.

I'm going to erase the previous report because this has changed =20 completely to save space. Thanks to anyone who can give me a bit more guidence. Maybe my rc.conf is missing something or scan no longer works or . . . . ed
