Aironet 32-bit CardBus Adapter not attached

[Grigory Klyuchnikov]

Hello,

To activate Cisco Aironet 1200 32-bit CardBus Adaptor you need to load 
if_ath driver
(Atheros 5212), for this type the command:

# kldload if_ath

after this you see some messages at the console and network interface 
ath0 or ath1
into the system, then ifconfig ath0 up and yuor card works.

Thanks.

Grigory.
