Atheros 5212 on a Fujitsu S6120 laptop

Fri Apr 16 10:48:18 PDT 2004

Thanks for the inputs.  I included the statement in the loader.conf file because the system would hang just after the 

cbb0: [MPSAFE]

portion of the boot process (perhaps I needed addition statements as well?).  I'm not sure if I needed other statements in the loader.conf, but the cardbus problem was (seemingly) fixed with the hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range=1 statement.

I've included the entire boot log file.  I'm not an expert on exactly what goes on with it, so any help would be greatly appreciated.  If this doesn't work with 5.2, I might try 4.9 even though it lacks some of the new features of the 5.x series.  Thanks again for the help!

Chances are that the mac portion of the chip did not come out of reset 
properly.
The symptom of this when the mac revision numbers are ok
but the phy and radio numbers are bogus.
