I think that athstats is providing much more useful information than
ifconfig is able to provide:
# athstats
43 tx management frames
122 tx frames discarded prior to association
13 tx failed 'cuz too many retries
137 long on-chip tx retries
9494 tx frames with no ack marked
1 rx failed 'cuz of bad CRC
29 rx failed 'cuz of PHY err
29 OFDM timing
7 beacons transmitted
1310 periodic calibrations
39340 rate control checks
11 rate control dropped xmit rate
rssi of last ack: 33
avg recv rssi: 33
57 switched default/rx antenna
Antenna profile:
[1] tx 9492 rx 314501
[2] tx 0 rx 20754

actually, these days, its madwifi which 'inherets' from the freebsd
(-6.0) driver.
And most of what you can do via 'athstats' is available via 'ifconfig'.
