Hi,
I am new in FreeBSD. Currently I use Linux, but I wish to switch to FreeBSD. My Atheros PCMCIA-Card works under Linux with ath5k, but FreeBSD could not load the HAL for this adapter.
Linux output of "tail -f /var/log/messages" when i plug in the adapter
Linux output of: lspci -v
FreeBSD 8 output of "tail -f /var/log/messages" when i plug in the adapter
FreeBSD 8 output of: lspci -v
I know that the chip is not listed in ath(4) but i hope there is a possibility to get the card working, because it works under Linux.
Thanks for any help!
