Hi,

I have installed FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE 201010 in VirtualBox, but when I browse /usr/src/sys/mips folder there is no Atheros folder, which version should I install to find it?

Thank you.

Why are you browsing the folder for the MIPS architecture?

Sorry for not being clear, I meant Atheros AR71xx which is a MIPS based CPU.

I can find it on http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/head/sys/mips/atheros/ but not in the FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE 201010.

Thank you.

Ah, that makes sense. When most people (including me) read Atheros the wireless chipsets are usually what's meant.

I can find it on http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/head/sys/mips/atheros/ but not in the FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE 201010.
The link points to sources in 9-CURRENT, not 8-STABLE. So it's possible this only got added in -CURRENT. You should be able to see when those files where checked in.
