Problem with Cisco (Atheros) Wireless PCI card on IBM Thinkcentre MT-M-8183-T1S

2006-01-17 Thread eric

Greetings from Merida, Yucatan, Mexico (The Maya Land)

Am having problems installing FreeBSD in my University under IBM Thinkcentre
MT-M-8183-T1S boxes.

I can´t detect the Wireless Cisco (Atheros) PCI lan card. Linux and Windows have
no problems recognizing the card but i have problems with FreeBSD 6.0

Here are my dmesg (with and with out ACPI).

I don´t know if this is a known issue, but any pointers will be greatly
appreciated.

I think that the pci3 line shows something but not sure about that.

Hello Eric,

It appears that you are still running the FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE kernel.
The atheros drivers are not compiled into the kernel by default.  Folks
on this list have expressed mixed results in loading the kernel modules,
so you should probably add the following lines to your kernel
configuration file and recompile your kernel:

device ath
device ath_hal
device ath_rate_onoe
device wlan   #This line should be already be in the configuration file.

You can find more information in the online handbook.

Wireless Networking:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html

Ath driver:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=athsektion=4

Configuring the kernel:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html

Best of luck,

Andrew Gould

Did you load the if_ath.ko driver?

Apparently, disabling ACPI makes no difference so I don't see how this 
is an ACPI issue.

i believe there are also issues with some of the newer firmware versions
from cisco on these cards. google might tell you more, just thought i
recalled some problems with them in the past and having to roll back the fw
