The version 6 driver package seems to install fine. When I echo $PATH I get sbin as well now. Still no ath0 device or any ath devices for that matter.
When I tail dmesg I get WARNING: mod_load: cannot load module 'ath' WARNING: ath: unable to resolve dependency, module 'misc/net80211' not found Also as a total n00b question, I still don't seem to understand how to install a package. I'm inside the directory that contains the install directory, and the reloc directory, and the pkginfo file and the pkgmap file, and I type this: pkgadd -d . SUNWatheros and I get this message: pkgadd: ERROR: no packages were found in </dlink_drivers/20070925_125628/ath-0.1-pkg/SUNWatheros> How do I install a package when I have those files? I haven't been able to figure that out yet, either that or the packages for the dlink g520 driver aren't good? Or I'm a total retard?
