is there something extra i can do to force it to load this card?
What do you mean by "extra"?  What have you done so far?

Have you recompiled the kernel with device lines for ath and
ath_hal?

i tried compiling it with ath and ath_hal, but it totally freaks
out on make. error on apci (i thought that stuff was disabled in
generic?)
What version of FreeBSD are you using?  Note that the atheros
chipset is only supported by FreeBSD 5*.

If apci is incompatible with your hardware, you may have to disable
it and revert back to apm (or neither).

Andrew Gould
it's 5.3 release,
apci and apm are disabled in generic (which i copied).
i added the lines device ath and device ath_hal

i get the error

"internal compiler error: segmentation fault"
stop in /usr/src/sys/modules/ctau

sorry i can't provide any kind of dump. wifi is this machines only
option for networking :/ should i just give up or is there a glimmer
of hope i might get this to work?

Since I had a version B of the same wireless PCI card working in 5.3, I wouldn't give up. I would, however, update the system using cvsup in case something is missing/corrupted in the source code.

(Also check the version of the PCI card.  Is it version B?)

Best of luck,

Andrew Gould

yeah thats the bugger of a thing, it has no network access to update via cvsup, i have to d/l latest i think and try again.
can i load kernel modules any other way besides compiling them in?
