macbook atheros driver in 7-beta2
hi, i have just put 7-beta2 on a macbook (core 2 duo) i am looking for advice on the best alternative for wireless support, the provided ath driver does not provide support. sam leffler has a patch here http://people.freebsd.org/~sam/ath_hal-20070428.tgz but i am not sure if this is newer or older than the support in 7-beta2 i also see some people are using ndis wrappers with this windows driver: http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=489&sec=0 does anyone have a suggestion for the preferred course of action? is there any chance of the atheros support being updated prior to launch or is the featureset frozen? thanks brad pgpBPw52vAm5U.pgp Description: PGP signature
