 Hi,
 
 This problem are happening yet using FreeBSD 6.x, but there are some 
 motherboards  working fine like Gigabyte GA-K8NS.
 
 I'm using a perl script to workaround this problem on all motherboards:
 
 =================================================================
 #!/usr/bin/perl -T
 
 $ENV{'PATH'} = '/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin';
 delete @ENV{'IFS', 'CDPATH', 'ENV', 'BASH_ENV'};
 
 $debug = 0;
 $wlans="ath";
 
 $cmd = "/sbin/ifconfig -l";
 print "DEBUG: Executa: $cmd\n" if $debug;
 $nics = qx( $cmd );
 
 @tipos = split( /\s+/, $wlans );
 @nic = split( /\s+/, $nics );
 
 $k = 0;
 for( $i = 0 ; $i <= $#tipos ; $i++ ){
   $tmp = $tipos[ $i ];
   print "DEBUG: Veifica o tipo: $tmp\n" if $debug;
   for( $j = 0 ; $j <= $#nic ; $j++ ){
     if( $nic[ $j ] =~ /$tmp/ ){
       print "DEBUG: Encontrou: $nic[ $j ]\n" if $debug;
       if( $nic[ $j ] =~ /^(\w+)$/ ){
         $interface[ $k++ ] = $1;
       }
     }
   }
 }
 
 for( $k = 0 ; $k <= $#interface ; $k++ ){
   $cmd = "/sbin/ifconfig $interface[ $k ] down";
   print "DEBUG: $cmd\n" if $debug;
   qx( $cmd );
 }
 
 print "DEBUG: Reiniciando...\n" if $debug;
 qx( reboot );
 =================================================================
 
 All cards listed in $wlans have yours state changed to down before 
 reboot, now we can reboot all servers with atheros card.
 
 Paulo.
