X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2003 21:08:07 -0000 BTW... this Dell (D800) has the ability to turn the wireless hardware off. For the bluetooth, this is simple: it's like disconnecting a USB dongle. For the mini-pci slot, it appears to power it down. pciconf -lv shows the current (non-supported non-ath) card as present when wireless is "on" and not present when wireless is "off" Is the ath driver able to handle this with any degree of gracefullness?
