I think you've done the right things so far. However I suspect that this vendor "Atheros", unknown product 0x0042 (class network subclass miscellaneous, rev 0x31) at pci1 dev 0 function 0 not configured ugen0 at uhub2 port 1 "Atheros Communications product 0xe009" rev 2.01/0.01 addr 3 means that your Atheros wifi and possibly one other Atheros device in your machine isn't supported (yet). Actual developers will know more about just what it may take to get your device supported, but output from pcidump(8) in some form is likely to be useful. Until the device is supported, my best advice is to get one of the cheapo USB wifi dongles. With any luck, a random part from the bargain bin at your friendly computer thingies outlet will be a supported device such as urtwn(4) or similar. Good luck! - Peter -- Peter N. M.
