Re: ath0: unable to attach hardware

Hi,

Ok. I'm travelling for a little bit; if I don't reply in a few days,
please poke me again.

It may be that the device is asleep for a bit longer (failing this
test) and has completed resetting at this point.

It may be that the power on sequence is not quite right for some reason.

Would you mind recompiling your kernel and making if_ath a kld, rather
than statically in the kernel?

Thanks,


Adrian
