Hi all.. Novice user having woes getting Atheros card up in FreeBSD 6.0

[resonant evil]

Yeah, someone told me about this exact card, I guess he figured it used
Atheros so that meant it would work.. I wish I was so lucky.

A nice fellow from Germany sent me an e-mail with a link to patching a file
in the kernel, but I'm not sure how to do it.. But I guess I'll give it a
try

Does anyone else have any other advice for me here? Is there anything I can
do or did I just purchase an absolute waste of money?

Thanks guys
