Hey, i just burned 5.3 and put it on my old p2 laptop. When i put in my linksys a+g card the first time it normally says no driver attached. But if i do ifconfig ath0 then reinsert it i get the following: Ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0x88000000-0x8800ffff irq 9 at device 0.0 on cardbus1 ath0: mac 5.6 phy 4.1 5ghz radio 3.6 ath0: failed to allocate descriptors: 12 device_attach: ath0 attach returned 12 cbb1: CardBus card activation failed if theres anything else i should post just let me know. Oh and pccardc dumpcis says 0 slots found, if that helps. thanks again

I changed this logic in current to allocate separate blocks for the tx+rx+beacon descriptors; I'll look at backporting that (though it's too risky to get into 5.4). Sam
