Interestingly enough, even though I've compiled the driver into the
kernel, the card isnt recognized by it.
dolores# kldload if_ath.ko
kldload: can't load if_ath.ko: File exists
dolores#
interface if_ath.1 already present in the KLD 'kernel'!
and nothing in ifconfig.
I think I'm out of options? Should I give up?
Cheers!
