Eric, thank you for your reply!
By using PCI cards you shouldn't have any IRQ conflict problems. It more
looks like that the driver doesn't recognise your card properly (although
it's strange that the driver is loading fine in that case) or it has a
different name then "ath0".
How do I determne if the card is found properly? What other names should I
try?
You also seem to have two other network cards
(eth0, eth1), you could try to remove one of them for testing purpose.
I have already tried this with no luck. I currently have two 3c595 PCI
cards by 3com in the router. I wanted to be sure they loaded fine with no
problems. (I wanted to rule out any problems with the pci bus). I also
moved the wireless card to different slots on the pci bus and no luck. I
also tried another setup using some ISA cards with nothing except the
wireless in the pci slots and still no change. This was all done using the
same Motherboard.
Are both the eth0, eth1 cards recognised?
Yes, they work just fine.
Do you see a message after
ath_pci that a PCI device is found and that it's called ath0 (or so)?
No, nothing like that.
Either it isn't named ath0 or the device isn't found at all. Please look
at the output of lsmod to see if all modules are loaded and check the
output of "ip -s addr" to see which network devices are found.
Here is the output of lsmod and and ip -s addr

I am really beginning to think the card just isn't found. I did try the
card in a Win2K machine and it works just fine there. Could it be the
version of drivers aren't new enough? I am grabbing at anything trying to
fix this.

As a sidenote: you shouldn't use both dhcpcd and pump, they are both dhcp
client packages. Just choose one or the other.
