>Description:
The atheros (ath) wireless driver is not mentioned in the hardware release notes of the amd64 version of 6.2-RELEASE. It is mentioned in the i386 version. Clearly this is an omission, since ath works fine on amd64 and is quite a popular wireless chipset among FreeBSD users. 
>How-To-Repeat:
Compare:

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.2R/hardware-amd64.html#WLAN

with:

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.2R/hardware-i386.html#WLAN

Last two lines mentioning ath are missing from amd64 page.
