Atheros WIFI is not recognized on FreeBSD 8.0-RC1

[Paul G Webster]

Hi same problem here as well, I tried fixing it in devid.h but doing so  
causes a compilation error, I have no idea where to go from here either,  
its a shame that the card seems to be supported but the driver does not  
notice it. sorry about the double reply by the way Eugene I replied  
directly to you by accident in the first mail
