For what it is worth, my Apple Macmini1,1 has:
ath0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Atheros AR5424" rev 0x01: apic 1 int 17 (irq 11)
ath0: AR5424 10.3 phy 6.1 rf 10.2, WORAW, address 00:14:51:ef:73:fb
which, in hostap mode works fairly well if I talk to it using an
athn(4), but is a bit unreliable with wpi(4).
I do have the attached diff in my tree. I'm not sure if I actually
need it or if it's just something I did to experiment with getting
802.11g modes work.
