pci1 at ppb0 bus 1 "Atheros AR9462" rev 0x01 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 not configured - means that for this one at least, you have a variant that 5.9 doesn't support. I suspect that's the case with your touchpad as well. Before trying to build custom kernels, I'd try with a snapshot (they're 6.0-beta at the moment), I remember vaguely some activity on the athn driver during this cycle. > Thanks and forgive if this is a FAQ (I do read the FAQ, but could not find > the answer there). as long as your hardware is supported, ifconfig is capable of handling the simpler WPA setups, ie ifconfig athn0 up nwid foo wpakey foospresharedsecret but there is a wpa-supplicant package available if you need it. -- Peter N.
