Yep, the same holds for AR5213A-based cards. I've had a Mini-PCI card in
my Soekris for quite a while, now, but never have been able to set it in
11g mode. It works nicely in 11b, though.

b ifconfig ath0 mediab does indeed not list 11g as an available mode, and
I notice that ath(4) does not actually mention 5213 chips. Looks like
I'm lucky it's recognized at all.
