It works on Ubuntu-10.10 (only version I tried). I also tried an AR5B95 card, and had the same results (works on Ubuntu, not on FreeBSD). I had the PCI mapping problem under 8.2 (see http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2011-June/012364.html for more info). I discussed this matter on freebsd-wireless starting with http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=87215+0+archive/2012/freebsd-wireless/20120212.freebsd-wireless Here is what shows up in dmesg.today for ath0 with the AR5BHB63 installed: ath0: mem 0xd0000000-0xd000ffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci3 ath0: AR2425 mac 14.2 RF5424 phy 7.0 and this is what shows up from pciconf -lv: ath0@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0xe00d105b chip=0x001c168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.' device = 'AR242x / AR542x Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)' class = network subclass = ethernet I boot the system and run the following commands and never get any responses: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 ifconfig wlan0 up scan ifconfig wlan0 list scan >How-To-Repeat: Try to connect to a WiFi network with an Acer Aspire One A0751h-1279 netbook running FreeBSD 8.2 or later. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
