Atheros AR8162/8166/8168 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Support

[Derrick Edwards]

Hi,
I purchased a Toshiba Satellite P875-S7200. I can not use the onboard ethernet
port because there is not a driver associated with it. I was wondering if an
driver was forthcoming supporting the subject chipsets. Also, are there any
work arounds.

I was told that Qualcomm Atheros is working on writing driver for
FreeBSD so it would be available in future. I don't know ETA
though.
