ath wireless driver

Hey all, I have a Sony Vaio laptop that is using the Intel WiFi Link 5100 wireless chipset, from the little research that I have done some people have had to upgrade their systems to 8.X-STABLE to get this to work. Im currently running 8.2-RELEASE, has anyone gotten this driver to work w/o upgrading? I put

Code: 
if_ath_load="YES"
wlan_wep_load="YES"
wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
wlan_tkip_load="YES"

in my /etc/boot/loader.conf

but I still cant see the ath interface. Do I really need to update or am I overlooking something?
 
I assume you mean /boot/loader.conf. These settings will do nothing in /etc/boot/loader.conf.

Your Intel Wifi Link 5100 be supported by iwn interface rather than ath interface.
You may read manpage of iwn and ath for checking hardwares repectively.
Code: 
man iwn
man ath
