Hi again, I repeated the steps and tried to kldload the modules once again. kldload ./if_ath.ko kldload ./if_ath_pci.ko Same thing happens. poof. I then removed the addition that i made earlier to the Makefile. and instead moved the headers and stuff in = ~/ath/ over to /usr/src/sys. Then i rebuild the kernel and now it works just fine.. Looks to me there is some discrepancy between the headers used in the=20 ~/ath/ modules and those in 8.2-RELEASE's /usr/src/sys .=20 But most important of course is the fact that i can browse the web without a cable now. I will try to test as much as i can and will = deliver the feedback into the -wireless list. Many thanks for your achievement and support.

Did you load if_ath_pci or if_ath first? if_ath_pci will auto-load if_ath, which may have loaded your system = if_ath. :-) Instead: kldload ./if_ath.ko kldload ./if_ath_pci.ko On 31 May 2011 16:50, Joao Schim <Joao.Schim@kb.nl> wrote: > Hi, > > Thanks for the link.
