 Hi Josh
 
 I borrowed an Netgear card with the atheros 5212 chip to test.
 on the two other laptops it's working on the T60p the output is the same as
 for the other cards:
 
 pcib6: requested memory range 0x88000000-0xffffffff: good
 cbb0: Opening memory:

 and the pciconf output:
 
 ath0 at pci0:22:0:0:       class=0x020000 card=0x5b001385 chip=0x0013168c

     vendor     = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
     device     = 'AR5212, AR5213 802.11a/b/g Wireless Adapter'
     class      = network
     subclass   = ethernet
 
 I really don't get it, today I installed again FreeBSD 7.0 CURRENT on a T61p
 and it's working plug and play :/
 
 What is interesting is also, that it was working once, I installed on my
 t60p FreeBSD 6.1 and then just updated/upgraded till I ended up with 7.0
 CURRENT, but I wanted to reinstall my system now to have again a clean
 installation and since I installed it out of box the cardbus is not working
 anymore. If I boot on the Windows partition everything is working. (so my
 cardbus is not broken :) )
 
 Do you have any special settings in loader.conf, or in any hints file ?
 
 greets
 Oliver
