FreeBSD 7.1 on Compaq CQ50-215nr

[deklove]

Please Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have installed FreeBSD 7.1 on my CQ50-215NR. I have gotten everything else working except the stupid Atheros ar5009 wireless N
network card that is in the machine. I think i have exhausted all posibilities and am about to give up. :(

I have created my own kernel (copy of GENERIC minus anything having to do with atheros) in order to try NDIS. No Luck. :(

I think the problem is the stupid wireless button next to the power button. Can anyone confirm this? Is there a workaround?

Please Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

maybe you need to update the ath src into latest?
and recompile the kernel.

https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/package/madwifi/ath_hal-20080528.tgz?rev=12395

after that, dmesg | grep ath
will give you version 10.5.2 something.
