Hi there!

I am facing some strange issue with recognizing the wifi card on my ASUS K4=
0IN
laptop.

pciconf -lv shows me the following:

none5@pci0:5:0:0:	class=3D0x028000 card=3D0x10891a3b chip=3D0x002b168c rev=
=3D0x01 hdr=3D0x00
    vendor     =3D 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
    class      =3D network

On wiki page http://wiki.freebsd.org/AsusEee#head-47f2e69f1dd87ec8920929cef=
682552933095ce6

there is the statement:

Wireless Atheros 9285 (supported in 8.0 only?) class=3D0x028000 card=3D0x10=
891a3b chip=3D0x002b168c rev=3D0xc0 hdr=3D0x00=20

the only difference is in "rev" property - 0x01 !=3D 0xc0

The question is - is it possible to change something in the sources of kern=
el
so the card will be recognized? And can somebody please explain what I shou=
ld
to try out?

Thank you in advance!
