atheros supported wireless card not seen under 5.4 release - help please
I've been happy with my limited use of FreeBSD and am slowly propagating it to other machines I can find... :) I've just installed 5.4 release (generic) onto an older Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop. I'm trying to get a PCMCIA wireless network card working and having problems. The card is Atheros based and hence listed as supported under the harware list (NEC PA-WL/54AG) via ath(4). If I ifconfig the card is not shown, I only see the loopback. dmesg shows cardbus0: network, ethernet at device 0.0 (no driver attached) Finally, the card has been shown to work in another laptop under another OS so I know the hardware is good. Can anyone give me a few clues where to look that might have a fresh install not seeing this card?
