which list? i'm not sure which list you are referring to. the list on the website for supported hardware just points to the man pages. although man pages for wireless drivers do have lists of supported models, athn(4) doesn't. it simply lists supported chipsets (and yours is listed). we did in the past list pretty extensively all these models on the web site, but keeping them and the man pages in sync was difficult, so now there are just links to the relevant man pages. jmc > The reason I wrote this mail is I already tested cards with > chips listed under athn(4) which were performing quite poor, > e.g. the Compex WLM200NX 6A: > > messages:Sep 19 22:39:29 aloha /bsd: athn0 at pci0 dev 14 function 0 "Atheros > AR9280" rev 0x01: irq 5 > messages:Sep 19 22:39:29 aloha /bsd: athn0: AR9280 rev 2 (2T2R), ROM rev 16, > address 00:80:48:72:5a:6b > > Testing it was a frustrating experience.
