Greetings,
I use a D-Link DWL-G650B2/TP600E combo under FreeBSD 6 with the ath driver and get
G+ speeds, but only when I'm connecting to my D-Link AP, though.
Note, it is not enough to just do a "kldload if_ath", you have to load the HAL
("kldload ath_hal" and then load the primary driver. Do a "man ath" for the
details.
