Hello all,

I went and bought a netgear WG311 PCI 54g (Wg311GE) card the other day to put in my firewall. I intended to use this is as an access point for a WLAN. This card is listed in the support hardware section on the openbsd website under i386 but not amd64.

Anyways, I grabbed the latest 3.8 snapshot, dated 28th Sept and installed it on my amd64 machine. Dmesg here;

The only thing that looks remotely like a netgear wg311 is the;

"Texas Instruments ACX111" rev 0x00 at pci0 dev 12 function 0 not configured

when I try any ifconfig commands related to ath0 they fail, which seems obvious as the kernel has not picked up any ath devices.


So, whats up with the WG311 or any ath based cards for the amd64 port ? In fact, according to the hardware support page there appears to be *no* ath support for amd64.

Is this correct. If so I didnt realise there was quite that amount of a difference between the two ports.


Brian.
