ath card problem

[kalin mintchev]

some additional information from the log

output from arp -a returns only:
? (192.168.1.1) at 00:0f:66:8b:60:13 on xl0 [ethernet]

and arp -i ath0 -a returns nothing

both cards have the same irq 11 at boot. i took 11 out of the pccard.conf
but it still comes up as 11

can anybody help please...

thanks
