On an Acer 5520/5679 laptop, I don't see a way to get wireless =20
working. I'm running:
8.0-CURRENT-200712 FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT-200712 #0: Sun Dec 30 11:33:37 CST 20=
07
The dmesg shows it detected but can't attach:
ath0: <Atheros 5424/2424> mem 0xf2200000-0xf220ffff irq 19 at device =20
0.0 on pci5
ath0: [ITHREAD]
ath0: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 13
device_attach: ath0 attach returned 6
pciconf -lv shows:
ath0@pci0:5:0:0: class=3D0x020000 card=3D0x04281468 chip=3D0x001c168c=
=20
rev=3D0x01 hdr=3D0x00
vendor =3D 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
device =3D 'AR5006 family 802.11abg Wireless NIC'
class =3D network
subclass =3D ethernet
Is there something else that I can do? If you can confirm that this =20
isn=B4t supported, I will go out a buy a pcmcia card. If anyone knows =20
of a list of 802.11 cards that work with amd64 even if they are usb, =20
would also be appreciated.
Thanks for any help,
ed
