First, why do you not think you have an AR5424 chipset? I ask because you've said so elsewhere. > ath0: unable to reset hardware; hal status 200 > ath0: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3692322188 Second, I wonder if you have that card marked as 'up after the recompile. I have the same card and when I have it marked as 'down' there is no problem. In fact, I wonder if compiling the kernal has anything to do with it, because I've done that too with no "unable to reset hardware" mesage. that message only occurs when I mark the card 'up' and try to use it. So, to "fix" the issue (if it is what I think it is), mark your card as 'down' (i.e., ifconfig ath0 down). It's not supported (yet), anyway. -Neal
