>Description:
Hi,

my NoteBook (Acer Extensa 5635Z) has an internal wifi mpcie card from Atheros 
(AR9281). According the athn manual page this driver should works with this 
chipset. 


From dmesg:

athn0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0
athn0: cannot map register space

NetBSD pcictl says it is a AR9281. OpenIndiana scanpci -v says it is a AR9283. 
That is strange.
This card works with the arn driver on OpenIndiana Hipster (Current). 

Please let me know if you need more information.


Best regards,
Erik
