--PmA2V3Z32TCmWXqI Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi -wireless, A while ago I posted with some issues with ath on 9.0-CURRENT, which were fixed by a patch someone posted to the list. A few weeks later, ath broke again and neither a vanilla kernel nor one with the patch worked, complaining of errors attaching HAL. Googling the terms turned up only results from 2008. I didn't have time to look into it so I ignored it, figuring that it would = be fixed in due course and that I'd pull when I had time. Over the weekend I spent some time on the problem, and it appeared that building ath support into the kernel was the issue, my config with > device ath > device ath_pci > device ath_hal (Apologies if that's not spelled correctly, I'm not actually in front of the machine) Doesn't load, however if I removed MODULES_OVERRIDE from make.conf and try = to load those modules, I'm told that it's already in the kernel. I also built GENERIC from the config in SVN and no luck. Finally, I removed those device lines from my config, built with all modules and enabled load_ath and load_ath_pci in loader.conf and wireless now works flawlessly. I'm now curious about why- and what I can do to know how to chase this up myself next time.
