I tried doing a mix of ath from -current and the rest from -stable but
it wouldn't compile because of iwn and other issues. I tried doing a
-current generic kernel. It would kernel panic shortly after getty was
started but I think that's another issue. After I got it to not panic,
the ath driver still wouldn't attach. Here's the relevant output of
pciconf.
none3@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x3112168c chip=0x0030168c
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
device = 'AR9300 Wireless LAN adaptor'
class = network
I was trying drivers off the CD I was given by the vendor. The card is
a TP-LINK TL-WDN4800. I tried the XP and Vista drivers, athwx.sys and
athrx.sys, but neither had any effect.
