I've tracked this down to an error in src/share/misc/pci_vendors.h,v
1.30.2.2; and from browsing in cvsweb it appears that no current version
of this file has the correct data:
168C Atheros Communications Inc.
0007 AR5000 802.11a Wireless Adapter
0011 AR5210 802.11a Wireless Adapter
0012 AR5211 802.11a/b/g Mini-PCI Wireless Adapter
0013 AR5213 802.11a/b/g Wireless Adapter
but the current output of
http://www.pcidatabase.com/reports.php?type=tab-delimeted is this:
168C Atheros Communications Inc.
0007 AR5000 802.11a Wireless Adapter
0011 AR5210 802.11a Wireless Adapter
0012 AR5211 802.11a/b/g Mini-PCI Wireless Adapter
0013 AR5212, AR5213 802.11a/b/g Wireless Adapter
In the current pci vendors list, 168C 0013 should indicate both AR5212
and AR5213. The 5213 is apparently an a/b/g chip used in the DWL-G530,
and since I have the DWL-G520 that uses the AR5212 I do have a supported
card under the ath driver.. but the driver failed to load, so something
is wrong. I will try the ath driver again soon and post results for it.
