Misc: I am installing OpenBSD 4.9 i386 on my Toshiba Satellite C655-S5225 which has Atheros Wireless and Atheros Ethernet. The wireless is recognized durring the install process with out any problem and works perfectly. However the wired ethernet is not working, and the install process does not even give me a choice to attempt to configure it.
I know in the Supported Hardware list (http://openbsd.org/i386.html#hardware) Atheros wireless is listed but not ethernet, however I've seen various "fixes" kicked around for my hardware for OpenBSD and FreeBSD, and both wireless and ethernet work in de-blobbed fully-free GNU/Linux distros like Trisquel. Are there any plans to officially support Atheros ethernet hardware? Is there a generally accepted way of getting this working in 4.9? At any rate, attached is my dmesg dmesg: OpenBSD 4.9 (GENERIC) #671: Wed Mar 2 07:09:00 MST 2011 [email protected]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4500 @ 2.30GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 2.30 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,SSE3,MWAIT,DS-CPL,EST,TM2,SSSE3,CX16,xTPR,PDCM,XSAVE real mem = 3081773056 (2939MB) avail mem = 3021234176 (2881MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 03/18/11, SMBIOS rev. 2.4 @ 0xe8160 (35 entries) bios0: vendor INSYDE version "1.60" date 03/18/2011 bios0: TOSHIBA Satellite C655 acpi0 at bios0: rev 2 acpi0: sleep states S3 S4 S5 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP HPET APIC MCFG ASF!
