You can look in http://firmware.OpenBSD.org/firmware. You can look on the manufacturers spec if it support OpenBSD, There is a possibility to add unsupported hardware by compiling its driver in to the kernel if its not in GENERIC Although I am not an expert in server hardware i would look in mobo users manual if there is a jumper for disabling/enabling pcie and in bios. You didnt told us where the Atheros chip is situated is it on mother board on pcie card or is it external device.
