There is a problem with country code in DWL-AG530, you can solve setting country code, we can find instructions for this in:

http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility

Our newest DWL-AG530 are working now on FreeBSD 5.4 and FreeBSD 6.0:

FreeBSD 5.4 before load contry code:
Jan 4 19:39:04 dl2 kernel: ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xee000000-0xee00ffff irq 10 at device 8.0 on pci0
Jan  4 19:39:04 dl2 kernel: ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 5ghz radio 3.6
Jan  4 19:39:04 dl2 kernel: ath0: unable to collect channel list from hal
Jan  4 19:39:04 dl2 kernel: device_attach: ath0 attach returned 22

After set country code:
Jan 11 15:10:19 dl2 kernel: ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xee000000-0xee00ffff irq 10 at device 8.0 on pci0

I think the newest D-link DWL-AG530 must use the AR5213 chipset too. Before I got it I had done some checking and read somewhere that it used the AR5212, so I thought I'd be ok.

When I tried it recently I got:

I haven't tried Sam's patches yet. I'm assuming they're still current though.

I have instructions for getting the patches, applying the patches, and testing them. I'll send them to you via BSDForums (since that's where they're saved).


Can you point me to these instructions as well please? Yes, I already looked. :)
