I am still interested in having ath work on Solaris 10.

The only /var/adm/messages I get occur when I plumb the device.  The 
messages are

Jul 25 17:38:24 ferrari unix: [ID 954099 kern.info] NOTICE: IRQ21 is 
being shared by drivers with different interrupt levels.

I know the shared interrupt message is not usually a problem but I 
wasn't getting it back on Solaris 10 11/06 when ath 0.5 worked.  Here is 
the interrupt configuration in case it helps

I did a fresh install and it didn't help.
