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?

Please help
