Hi folks,

now I have one of these atheros wifi cards (Trendware TEW 443-PI, for google 
bots) and I can't use it with NeBSD 2.x. The revision of the chip (AR5212) 
isn't supported yet, dixit ath(4):

ath0: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 13

000:09:0: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 Wireless LAN (ethernet network, 
revision 0x01)

But it seems to work with the very latest current. Should I update my whole 
system or is there a way to only have the ath driver updated?

Best regards,
Laurent.
