Hello:
I have installed FreeBSD-7.0-amd64 stable on my new AMD X2 Turon based
notebook, a MSI-1710A (GX710Ax) which has a generic embedded
controller. During boot up I notice that ATH complains with:
ath_rate: version 1.2 <SampleRate bit-rate selection algorithm>
ath_hal: 0.9.20.3 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413)

device_attach: ath0 attach returned 6
HAL status 13 from the header file seems to indicate that the
7.0-STABLE driver doesn't support my hardware revision. Here is my
pciconf -l output:
Maybe you could try compiling a kernel with a newer hal. This is the kind of
hack we use on the eeepc. Have a look at this:

Thank you SO much for this link. That's EXACTLY what I want to do
because I realize that this is a HAL problem. I've been searching
like MAD where I could get an updated binary HAL for this chipset
(PCIe based).
That makes two of us ;)
My dmesg is very, very similar to yours and hoped that this would work.

I followed the instructions from the web page, recompiled and it made
no difference which really worries me that I must have done something
wrong.
cd madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007/hal
cp -R * /usr/src/sys/contrib/dev/ath/
I did not erase it previously but am going to try that. I made no
kern configuration changes to find that the hal is from contrib. Is
there nothing else I should do?
Thanks,
ed
