I have installed FreeBSD-7.0-amd64 stable on my new AMD X2 Turon based
notebook, a MSI-1710A (GX710Ax) which has a generic embedded
ath_rate: version 1.2 <SampleRate bit-rate selection algorithm>
ath_hal: 0.9.20.3 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413)
ath0: <Atheros 5424/2424> mem 0xfd7f0000-0xfd7fffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci2
ath0: Reserved 0x10000 bytes for rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xfd7f0000
ath0: [MPSAFE]
ath0: [ITHREAD]
ath0: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 13
device_attach: ath0 attach returned 6
HAL status 13 from the header file seems to indicate that the
7.0-STABLE driver doesn't support my hardware revision. Here is my
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
rev=0x00 hdr=0x01
rev=0x00 hdr=0x01
rev=0x00 hdr=0x01
rev=0x00 hdr=0x01

rev=0x21 hdr=0x02
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
ath0 is listed as rev=0x01 so I'm a little confused why I got HAL
status 13. Does anyone know if this chipset is supported in
7.0-STABLE? If not, is it possible to try CURRENT on 7.0 which may
fix it? I've attached my complete dmesg output.
Again, any feedback would be much appreciated!
Try the hal in http://www.freebsd.org/~sam.

I have the same Atheros 5424/2424 on my Acer aspire laptop and it
works great by installing the patch from Sam,
http://people.freebsd.org/~sam/ath_hal-20080528.tgz
Building a new kernel and then adding your configuration in rc.conf.

good luck,
