I just tested it on my new Eee PC 900 (with NetBSD 5.0_BETA) and it
works very well (I installed NetBSD on the 16GB SSD).

It's very useful to attach and detach the ath(4) and so it would be
great to have it in 5.0 or 6.0 and I'm sure that other users with
netbooks and/or laptops can benefit from this patch.

Thank you very much Jared for this patch and the ath(4) one, these make
NetBSD an Eee PC-ready OS.


Ciao, Leonardo
