How do I obtain /lib/dll/devnp-ath.so ??   
Greetings,

I have a system with the Atheros AR5212 WiFi chipset.  I found instructions on 
how to use this with io-pkt-v?-hc and some source in the network tree under 
trunk/sys/contib, along with a ref in sys/static_drvr_netbsd.mk but have not 
figured out how to build devnp-ath.

Can some kind soul help me out? 

Thanks a bunch,
-KenD

If you just do a 'make install' from the root it should
build the one under sys/dev/ath and install it to your
stage.

I am self-hosted on Neutrino.  The command issued in the trunk directory was:

  make OSLIST=nto CPULIST=x86 install 

Nothing gets compiled in sys/dev/ath

[I can send you the make output if this helps].

Thanks again,

Hmmm.... My posts from the weekend never made it to the board.  In any case, the driver is built from sys/dev/ath.  
Because of build issues with Windows (among other things), there's a Makefile.dnm file in that directory that means that
 the driver doesn't get built automatically.  If you do a "make install" from within the driver directory, it'll do the 
build for you.  There's also a README file in there explaining the build issue and other info on using the driver.

We're working on a "proper" port of the driver for our upcoming release (it's in the hands of the lawyers for licensing 
right now...)

Ah.  I did a subversion checkout of the network trunk as per the web page [wiki1672: Source_Guide] but /trunk/sys/
contrib/dev/ath/ lacks any .mk or makefile.  Perhaps I need a variant of the source tree?  [I have a Non-commercial 
licence].

Thanks again,

Close, but not quite :->.  The driver is actually built from trunk/sys/dev/ath (not in the contrib directory...).

Ah!  Builds AOK.

The nice think about "pilot error" is that it is the easiest to correct.

Now to get the darn thing configured!

Cheers,
