Hi Judi. I have the same problem as Ning. I have an Asus F3KA-X2 laptop. I've tried to install the package and got the same result.
I've added the line in the etc/system and got the following errors in var/adm/messages while trying to devfsadm for the driver: Mar 12 12:12:52 pjsol genunix: [ID 639182 kern.notice] ath: ath_attach(): vendor 0x168c, device id 0x1c, cache size 0 Mar 12 12:12:52 pjsol genunix: [ID 945408 kern.notice] ath: ath_attach(): athname: Atheros 5424/2424 Mar 12 12:12:52 pjsol genunix: [ID 190732 kern.notice] ath: ath_attach(): set command reg to 0x6 Mar 12 12:12:52 pjsol genunix: [ID 600456 kern.notice] ath: ath_attach(): regs map1 = 45581000 err=0 Mar 12 12:12:52 pjsol genunix: [ID 288556 kern.notice] ath: ath_hal_malloc(): 0: p=ffffff018a588000, size=18856 Mar 12 12:12:52 pjsol pcplusmp: [ID 444295 kern.info] pcplusmp: ide (ata) instance #3 vector 0xf ioapic 0x2 intin 0xf is bound to cpu 1 Mar 12 12:12:52 pjsol genunix: [ID 835508 kern.notice] ath: ath_hal_free(): 0: p=ffffff018a588000, size=18856 Mar 12 12:12:52 pjsol genunix: [ID 534883 kern.notice] ath: ath_attach(): unable to attach hw; HAL status 3 Mar 12 12:12:55 pjsol genunix: [ID 639182 kern.notice] ath: ath_attach(): vendor 0x168c, device id 0x1c, cache size 0 Mar 12 12:12:55 pjsol genunix: [ID 945408 kern.notice] ath: ath_attach(): athname: Atheros 5424/2424 Mar 12 12:12:55 pjsol genunix: [ID 190732 kern.notice] ath: ath_attach(): set command reg to 0x6 Mar 12 12:12:55 pjsol genunix: [ID 600456 kern.notice] ath: ath_attach(): regs map1 = 45584000 err=0 Mar 12 12:12:55 pjsol genunix: [ID 288556 kern.notice] ath: ath_hal_malloc(): 0: p=ffffff018a58e000, size=18856 Mar 12 12:12:55 pjsol genunix: [ID 835508 kern.notice] ath: ath_hal_free(): 0: p=ffffff018a58e000, size=18856 Mar 12 12:12:55 pjsol genunix: [ID 534883 kern.notice] ath: ath_attach(): unable to attach hw; HAL status 3 Mar 12 12:12:55 pjsol pcplusmp: [ID 444295 kern.info] pcplusmp: ide (ata) instance #3 vector 0xf ioapic 0x2 intin 0xf is bound to cpu 1 I also found that when i've tried to install the package the following messages appeared (Notice the hal status change) Mar 12 12:12:48 pjsol genunix: [ID 639182 kern.notice] ath: ath_attach(): vendor 0x168c, device id 0x1c, cache size 16 Mar 12 12:12:48 pjsol genunix: [ID 945408 kern.notice] ath: ath_attach(): athname: Atheros 5424/2424 Mar 12 12:12:48 pjsol genunix: [ID 190732 kern.notice] ath: ath_attach(): set command reg to 0x6 Mar 12 12:12:48 pjsol genunix: [ID 600456 kern.notice] ath: ath_attach(): regs map1 = 4557d000 err=0 Mar 12 12:12:48 pjsol genunix: [ID 288556 kern.notice] ath: ath_hal_malloc(): 0: p=ffffff018a59a000, size=18856 Mar 12 12:12:48 pjsol genunix: [ID 835508 kern.notice] ath: ath_hal_free(): 0: p=ffffff018a59a000, size=18856 Mar 12 12:12:48 pjsol genunix: [ID 534883 kern.notice] ath: ath_attach(): unable to attach hw; HAL status 13 Do you think there is anything i can do to make it work?
