Hello all,
I would like to understand how I can troubleshoot the issue I have got with this card a bit further.
I installed a WG311T card in my system, looking at the chipset it's a 5213A, but the ath driver recognises this as AR5212.
then the system hangs.
This card is installed on a ASUS P5K-deluxe. I have tried all the PCI slots and got the same issue.
I have tried 8-BETA3, 8-BETA4 with the ath support compiled in the kernel, no way to boot, it keeps failing at the same stage.
I then disabled the 'ath' support in the kernel to boot and kldload if_ath. In that case, it boots. No ath is recognised (as expected) but the system hangs instantly when I kldload if_ath.
I then tried with a 7.2-RELEASE CD and I have got the same symptom.
If I try the option of verbose boot, I do not have anything else after the ITHREAD line.
What else could I do to narrow down the problem and understand what could trigger that?
Could it be a hardware problem?
Thanks,
Boris
