Hi,

As a 6 year linux user, i am new to freebsd. :)
In my laptop i have a atheros wireless card. To use it, i compiled modules;

# cd /sys/modules/ath
# make; make load

# cd /sys/modules/ath_hal
# make; make load

# cd /sys/modules/ath_rate_sample
# make; make load

# cd /sys/modules/wlan
# make; make load

# cd /sys/modules/wlan_acl
# make; make load

# cd /sys/modules/wlan_wep
# make; make load

# cd /sys/modules/wlan_xauth
# make; make load

Then i added following lines to the /boot/loader.conf
if_ath_load="YES"
ath_hal_load="YES"
ath_rate_load="YES"
wlan_load="YES"
wlan_acl_load="YES"
wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
wlan_tkip_load="YES"
wlan_wep_load="YES"
wlan_xauth_load="YES"


And i restarted my machine to be sure.

When i use kldstat command to see modules, i see this output;

# kldstat
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1    9 0xc0400000 70794c   kernel
 2    1 0xc0b08000 2cf4     wlan_acl.ko
 3    1 0xc0b0b000 1b88     wlan_xauth.ko
 4    1 0xc2d1f000 16000    linux.ko

Where is my if_ath module and the other ath modules? Where is the problem?
And of course, still my wireless does not work.
