I bought a new wireless network card listed under freebsd's supported
hardware which is 'DLINK Air Plus Xtreme G DWD-G520'.
The DWD-G520 is an atheros wireless network card. So I recompiled my
freebsd kernel with the following options:-
device ath
device ath_hal
device wlan
But I still dont see ath0 interface when I execute the 'ifconfig' command.
dmesg | grep ath shows the following:-
server# dmesg | grep ath
npx0: <math processor> on motherboard
ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xdfff0000-0xdfffffff irq 11 at device 9.0 on pci0
ath0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
ath0: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 13
device_attach: ath0 attach returned 6
Why this wireless network card is not working? And how to make it
work? I googled but didnt find any usefull answer, I hope to get
usefull answers this time

Try the iwconfig command. I believe that FreeBSD uses that command as
well for wireless cards as opposed to ifconfig.
