Comment (by anonymous):
Using my previous snapshot (1390), I get the following when running
modprobe ath_pci with no arguments:
{{{

After this, I run
{{{

iwconfig wifi0 rate 54M
iwconfig ath0 essid NingNing
iwconfig ath0 key beef15dead
ifconfig ath0; ifconfig wifi0; iwconfig ath0; ifconfig wifi0
}}}
and get the following:
{{{

As you can see, it does pick up a frequency automatically, and runs in
802.11g mode. I still cannot run iwpriv, though:
{{{
