<div>I was afraid that was the case. It is recognized as device 'arn' but I've never ported a driver, so it would be a very steep climb and not sure I have the experience to do even port it from FreeBSD. I checked the link you posted, and there is a driver 'atge' for Atheros 82xx. On the OI WiFi page it shows the 'arn' driver works for a 9285 but nothing for <span>AR5B125.</span> </div><div><br></div><div>Seems like going back to FreeBSD would be the path of least resistance. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div><div><br></div>
