I bought a new wireless network card listed under freebsd's supported hardware which is 'DLINK Air Plus Xtreme G DWD-G520'. The DWD-G520 is an atheros wireless network card. So I recompiled my freebsd kernel with the following options:- device ath device ath_hal device wlan But I still dont see ath0 interface when I execute the 'ifconfig' command. dmesg | grep ath shows the following:- server# dmesg | grep ath=20 npx0: <math processor> on motherboard=20 ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xdfff0000-0xdfffffff irq 11 at device 9.0 on pci0= =20 ath0: [GIANT-LOCKED]=20 ath0: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 13=20 device_attach: ath0 attach returned 6 Why this wireless network card is not working? And how to make it work? I googled but didnt find any usefull answer, I hope to get usefull answers this time Note that I am not yet a member of freebsd's mailing lists, so please send answers to my email maadree@gmail.com. Best regards. Ali
