freebsd 9 rc2 and Atheros ar5413

[Adrian Chadd]

CAn you please add in:

options ATH_DEBUG
options AH_DEBUG
options ATH_DIAGAPI

then add this to /boot/loader.conf:

hw.ath.hal.debug=0xffffffff

and then email me the resultant kernel messages from bootup?

Please ensure you compile this into your kernel rather than having it
loaded as a module. I think PCBSD 9.0 compiles this as a module, and
the kernel options won't appear in the module build.

Thanks,


Adrian
