Hehe.  I haven't tried either as i don't have 802.11a hardware.  I was
mostly posting the link to let people know another "driver" exists as
a potential reference.

OK, sam had the first WORKING driver.  I tried this driver and apart
from light a few LEDs, it most definitely didn't "work" for any useful
definition of "work."  "hey, I have this web page, can I count as
first" doesn't count as first.

maybe not, another linux driver already existed:  http://team.vantronix.net/ar5k/

Whos first and how first is defined doesn't matter.  Thanks for the work
to support a/g chipsets, i've been wanting to speed up my network.

I can't do that, because
1) I'm ports (only) committer
2) At this time I haven't approve for this patch from my mentor

Please commit it, if it possible.

Could you commit it please?  I'm pretty sure Sam will be happy to see
that people didn't wait for him to be online to fix such a trivial
compile fix.  If you really don't want to do it, I'll commit it myself.

Re: HEADS UP: Atheros 802.11 support

[Justin Ma]

This is what I did for a quick fix:

In sys/dev/ray/if_ray.c, comment out the line:

#include 

and add the lines

#include 
#include 

Just like Sam did with the 'wi' and the 'an' drivers.
sys/net/if_iee80211.h was removed from the tree, I think.

I've been testing the ath driver with the 5210 and 5211 parts for
weeks now, and am quite happy with it.  Sam is right that there are
issues one must consider when trying to deploy it,  but it sure is
usable and useful!

Ah, but it isn't in the linux development kernel yet, now is it :-)
