ath driver within 5.4-RELEASE
Hi I just wanted to know if the ath driver is included within the 5.4-RELEASE as I can't seem to find it with the GENERIC config or do I just load auth with kldload ? I can't check as I'm not at home atm.

If my memory serves me correctly, people on this list have reported problems loading the kernel modules. Therefore, you'll probably need to recompile the kernel with the following: device ath device ath_hal Regards, Andrew Gould ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Will this support 11g as I read something about the wireless stack in 6.0 is different in some way compared to 5.4 ? I tried to compile 6.0-BETA 2 with both device ath and device ath_hal but the kernel compile died with undefined symbol error's, i've google it but not found anything, any idea's guy's ?

I don't know if 5.4 supports 11g but it I know it doesn't support too much advanced authentication mechanisms (WPA). I believe you need not only ath and ath_hal in the kernel config file but also wlan and some ath_rate module (one of ath_rate_onoe, ath_rate_amrr or ath_rate_sample). The recommended rate module is ath_rate_sample. Why do you compile the modules statically into the kernel? Modules should work too.
