Hi guys Here is where I am at now.
Before we start, heres a DETAILED link to my exact wireless card: http://www.netgate.com/product_info.php?products_id=279 A nice guy named Eric from Germany e-mailed me with some information, saying to check out this website: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2005-October/007243.html He thought that maybe the fix for his card might work for mine, but it doesn't appear to have.. Here is exactly what I did I copied that source code from http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8966525 for the 'ar5k.c' file and compiled it. I then went to /usr/src/sys/dev/dev/ath and edited the 'if_ath.c' file. Correct me if I'm wrong but I was just supposed to change that one line of 'return EINVAL' to 'return 0' right? So I did that, saved it, and re-compiled the kernel fully, installed it, and rebooted, but I don't see even the slightest bit of info about the card still when the system boots up, and I definitely don't have an ath0 device still. Is there something like an 'lspci' command in Linux where I can get all the information from the card by probing it or whatever? FreeBSD can't detect this thing for the life of it :( Did I do anything wrong in those instructions? Is there anything I can do?
