D-Link DWA-520

[Thunderbolt]

I have purchase D-Link DWA-520. On the card written H/W Ver.: A1 and F/W Ver.: 1.10.
I've installed it into my system (FreeBSD 7 Release-p4) and at the boot time it prints: "ath0: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 3"
I've found a new HAL (http://people.freebsd.org/~sam/ath_hal-20080528.tgz) and also decide to update system to p5. But this hasn't change anything but HAL version from 0.9 to 0.10


dmesg | grep ath
ath_hal: 0.10.5.6 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, AR5416, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413, RF2133, RF2425, RF2417)
ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xff8f0000-0xff8fffff irq 10 at device 12.0 on pci1
ath0: [ITHREAD]
ath0: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 3
device_attach: ath0 attach returned 6



pciconf -lv
ath0@pci0:1:12:0: class=0x020000 card=0x3a331186 chip=0x0013168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
device = 'AR5212, AR5213 802.11a/b/g Wireless Adapter'
class = network
subclass = ethernet


I've also try to use HAL from madwifi r3861-20080903 with no effect.

Try to put your card in to another pci slot. On some motherboards it may helps.

It's working!
Many thanks
