Hi again,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

It seems like the stock kernel may be built without if_ath just being a module,
like it's a builtin? Sorry, still more familiar with Linux than FreeBSD in that
regard.

# kldunload if_ath
kldunload: can't find file if_ath
# kldunload if_ath_pci
kldunload: can't find file if_ath_pci
# kenv | grep ath
module_path="/boot/kernel;/boot/modules"
hint.ath.0.macaddr="99:9e:d2:95:f3:4c"
# kldload if_ath
kldload: can't load if_ath: module already loaded or in kernel
# kldload if_ath_pci
kldload: an error occurred while loading the module. Please check dmesg(8) for
more details.
# dmesg | tail -n 5
interface ath_pci.1 already present in the KLD 'kernel'!
linker_load_file: Unsupported file type
wlan0: link state changed to UP
interface ath_pci.1 already present in the KLD 'kernel'!
linker_load_file: Unsupported file type

I'm a bit puzzled by this. I never knew of kenv before.

Thanks,

Teran
