Hi,
I use an atheros based pccard nic on my laptop with 9-CURRENT.
The last time I was able to build a working kernel was 20 march (the current
kernel I'm using is=20

r/src/sys/GENERIC i386
a few weeks later UPDATING included this message:
20110331:
ath(4) has been split into bus- and device- modules. if_ath contains
the HAL, the TX rate control and the network device code. if_ath_pci
contains the PCI bus glue. For Atheros MIPS embedded systems, if_ath_a
contains the AHB glue. Users need to load both if_ath_pci and if_ath
in order to use ath on everything else.
TO REPEAT: if_ath_ahb is not needed for normal users. Normal users onl
need to load if_ath and if_ath_pci for ath(4) operation.
I'm still using default config, but any kernels I build panic if I boot with
the NIC plugged in. They boot fine with it unplugged, but if I plug in the
card
it immediately panics.
Booting with verbose logging on, I see this (I typed this out by hand after
writing it down, so it's possible that it's slightly incorrect. I did double
check it, though):
pcib2: allocated memory range (0xf6010000-0xf601ffff) for rid 10 of pci0:3:0:0
unkown: Lazy allovation of 0x10000 bytes rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xf6010000
cbb0 Opening memory:
cbb0 Normal: (0xg6010000-0xf601ffff)
cbb0: Opening memory:
panic: duplcate map 10
I have confirmed with pciconf -l that pci0:3:0:0 is my ath nic.
I have the backtrace, but I only wrote down the function names. I can write
down the whole lot if it will help though.
