hi i found the posts above while searching freebsd's mailinglists i've exactly the same pb with freebsd 5.4 and netgear WG311T
did you find any solution ?? i don't really want to upgrade to 6.0 and i'm not sure it will solve the pb :( otherwise i could buy another wireless card (i can give mine back to the shop 7 days after buying it) which 802.11g pci card is really known to work with freebsd 5.4 ?? (because i've also be looking to man pages saying it was supported....) thanks for your help !

Sorry, I must not have been clear - I kldloaded the if_ath module, as specified in my first post, which is what gave me the dmesg errors. The ath0 interface then does not show up in ifconfig -a, because of the errors. So I'm not sure how, on a 5.4-RELEASE system, what you're suggesting could work. If the ath driver attached properly, yes, if_ath_load would in fact start my card automatically on boot, but the driver can't attach, so trying to attach on bootup isn't very helpful. So, the question still stands, i think - can i get this card working on a 5.4 release sytem, or do i have to use CURRENT or do something else? And if I can't get this working on current, the man page of ath REALLY needs to be updated, at the very least to specify that wg311v1 is supported, but not v2, like the OBSD man page does. Any my apologies for what must end up looking like horrible html mail from hotmail - my main mail is down temporarily. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
