I am running the latest ath_hal from http://people.freebsd.org/~sam/ I likely should have mentioned that in the first place The wireless card is picked up fine when I move the harddrive to another laptop. Which would likely rule out the possibility that the issue is within the chipset (unless I am severely misguided, which I won't rule out). Also I am running a generic kernel of FreeBSD-7.0 STABLE (though the issue was still there when I had RELEASE running) On Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 5:25 AM, Ashish Shukla आशीष शुक्ल <wahjava.ml@ gmail.com> wrote: > Ian writes: > > Goal: > > to have Wireless Atheros based NIC run on my Sony Vaio > > > Background: > > > The computer in question is a Sony Vaio PCG R505-JL w/ slimdock.
