On an Acer 5520/5679 laptop, I don't see a way to get wireless working. I'm running: FreeBSD ed.local.net.mx 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #71: Fri Mar 28 05:18:46 CST 2008 root@ed.local.net.mx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ENCONTACTO amd64 The dmesg shows it detected but can't attach: ath0: <Atheros 5424/2424> mem 0xf2200000-0xf220ffff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci5 ath0: [ITHREAD] ath0: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 13 device_attach: ath0 attach returned 6 Verbose dmesg at http://encontacto.net/share/dmesg.txt pcionf -lv shows: ath0@pci0:5:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x04281468 chip=0x001c168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.' device = 'AR5006 family 802.11abg Wireless NIC' class = network subclass = ethernet Any suggestions will be appreciated. I even bought a linksys WUSB54GR and then found that there isn't a driver for that model either. Thanks for any help, ed
