Hi, again, all. I've just picked up a Netgear WG511T, which is detected by OpenBSD (I believe correctly) as a Atheros AR5212 Cardbus card. There have been several discussions mentioning this and other Atheros cards on this list in the last few months, but none seem to come to any resolution. Somewhat unsurprisingly (if you're still reading), I haven't gotten this to work, either, on a laptop that at least at first glance has proper cardbus support. With the 24 August snapshot, the card's apparently detected, lights blink, but I get the dreaded "status: no network", and am unable to advance from there. (See below for full dmesg, hostname.ath0, and output or lack thereof.)
I can return the card easily enough, but there has been some discussion previously of removing non-working cards from the ath(4) man page. Has anyone gotten this card to work properly? Should it also be removed from http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html ? I welcome any requests for more information or suggestions for better troubleshooting. Thanks, as always! CDJ PS---I'd also love any suggestions for supported PCMCIA/Cardbus or PCI 802.11b or g cards "officially" supported and known to work, as well as still available new in stores in the US. Feel free to use private mail for this---no need to clutter the list.
