Hello,

i seem to be unable to get the ath driver working on a PC Engines APU 2C2 Board with a Compex WLE200NX (AR9280) MiniPCIe-Card booting from a NanoBSD Image built from HEAD.

I have built the NanoBSD Image without any BUILD, INSTALL or WORLD options and with a GENERIC-NODEBUG Kernel.

I can see the Card in dmesg with

root@:~ # dmesg | grep ath
ath0: <Atheros 9280> mem 0xfe800000-0xfe80ffff at device 0.0 on pci4
[ath] enabling AN_TOP2_FIXUP
ath0: [HT] enabling HT modes
ath0: [HT] 1 stream STBC receive enabled
ath0: [HT] 1 stream STBC transmit enabled
ath0: [HT] 2 RX streams; 2 TX streams
ath0: AR9280 mac 128.2 RF5133 phy 13.0
ath0: 2GHz radio: 0x0000; 5GHz radio: 0x00c0

and pciconf -lv shows

ath0 at pci0:4:0:0:        class=0x028000 card=0x3099168c chip=0x002a168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Qualcomm Atheros'
    device     = 'AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)'
    class      = network

and

root@:~ # kldstat -v | grep ath
                89 pci/ath_pci

but the Card doesn't show up with ifconfig.

When booting from USB with FreeBSD-11.0-ALPHA5-amd64-20160624-r302164-memstick.img the Card is getting recognised regularly with ifconfig as ath0.
