Asus eeepc, Freebsd-head, problem with ath/wifi driver

[Octavian Ionescu]

hi,

i have had the same problem and asked a while ago (about 1 week ago) 
about the driver for wireless card for asus eee 1000h and the answer i 
had received from mr Sam Leffer was:

0x781 is an RT2790; not supported by any driver in the tree. 

this is first time i am hearing about another driver wich is working 
with this card and i shall give it a try to see what happens.

Best regards,
Octavian
