You posted something similar to -hardware about your Broadcom NIC and got responses, so I'm not sure why you decided to go with -questions this time around. :-) Linux drivers are not ported to FreeBSD. The driver and ABI semantics are *way* too difference to port. A new driver must be created. The Linux driver can be looked at to determine importance of register bits or other things, but this requires the Linux driver to have large amounts of commenting, many of which do not. Thirdly, your Atheros chip is an AR5B91, it is an AR9281. I'm not sure where 5B91 came from. Other things to note: 1) There is ath(4) on FreeBSD, but it is for different versions of Atheros chips; it may not be possible to extend ath(4) to support the 9281. 2) Atheros chips have a history of being very different from one another, as can be confirmed with ale(4) vs. age(4) (ex: the L1E NIC completely different from the L1 NIC). I've added an entry to my below Wiki page stating that we do not have support for these Atheros chips. http://wiki.freebsd.org/JeremyChadwick/Commonly_reported_issues -- | Jeremy Chadwickjdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
