FreeBSD doesn't see the card at all. No lights on > the card are on as well. /var/log/messages also doesn't show anything. I tried booting from the 6.3-Release install CD (and also 7.0 RC2 snapshot iso) and still no luck. However, booting these same CD's on a laptop (i.e. no PCI->Cardbus adapter) the very same card is recognized. sysinstall lets me config ath0 and used the CD as a live filesystem allows traffic to pass. The PCI->Cardbus adapter works with other 802.11b cards though, so I'm guessing something about this combination is the issue. Any ideas? Thanks, MikeChome | help
