On amd64 current I have installed the patch from Sam, =20
http://people.freebsd.org/~sam/ath_hal-20080528.tgz, that seems to fix =20
the hal problem but it still doesn't have carrier and a scan only gets =20
"ifconfig: unable to get scan results"

I've even checked the handbook and it says basically what I've done.  =20
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
