I've tried 7.1-BETA and 8.0-CURRENT-200809 on my eeepc model 701

7.1 does not recognize ath0, as expected, but 8.0-CURRENT does.
For the record, the same is true for my Acer Aspire One.  After
updating sys/contrib/dev/ath to HEAD I now have a working ath0.
hooray!

On the other hand, mine doesn't.  I have a brand new Lifebook E8420 and
I believe the Atheros wireless chipset is an a/g/n chipset.  It lists
as:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:32:0:0:      class=0x028000 card=0x147c10cf chip=0x002a168c 
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00

I read somewhere that this chipset is supported by the new ath9k Linux
driver but, of course, I run FreeBSD.
That's a merlin part (aka 9280); I've got untested changes to support it. Unfortunately I don't have a card so it may take a while to get something out. Unfortunately it's not feasible for me to send out test code to try until I can actually work w/ a card.
