Hey guys was running FreeBSD 5.4 and was unable to get my wireless nic working on it, its a Dlink G520 which is an atheros chipset. I was told that 6.0 had better support for wireless nic drivers so i installed 6.0 but my card still doesnt get picked up at all. I know the card is working ok cos I also run SuSe 10
