The amd64 hal module doesn't exist in 5-stable. I happen to have a Gateway 7422GX, and am running the latest -CURRENT prefectly fine. The ath and ath_hal in -CURRENT are newer versions that sam <sam@freebsd.org> recently imported. The wlan framework in -CURRENT has also gone through a number of changes (namely to support WPA, et. al.), and so a simple back-copy of the driver won't work without some huge effort. Anyhow, sam has comitted my patch to get the ath_hal to build for amd64, since it works on this laptop (very well I might add). Pull down -current and work from there, that's my advice. It seems more stable and feature-full than 5-stable anyhow for this platform. Keep an eye on freebsd-amd64 to be aware of -current breakage later on. NDIS wrapper doesn't work yet on amd64. The broadcom chip bites anyhow. I've got an SMC 2536W-AG EliteConnect which supports the a,b,g modes as well as something called 'turbo' mode. -- coleman kane On Thu, 20 Jan 2005 01:13:02 -0800, Brooks Davis <brooks@one-eyed-alien.net> wrote: > On Thu, Jan 20, 2005 at 02:46:58AM -0600, Nick Lozinsky wrote: > > Greetings, > > > > I have included: > > > > device ath > > device ath_hal > > > > to my kernel, and when attempting to `make', it fails with: > > > > linking kernel > > ah_osdep.o(.text+0x157): In function `ath_hal_modevent': > > : undefined reference to `ath_hal_version' > > ah_osdep.o(.data+0x1b8): undefined reference to `ath_hal_version' > > *** Error code 1 > > > > I've googled for over a week, with no solution.
