   Not sure about what happened to ipw; however, are you sure that your
kernel and user land are sync'ing with each other?

   In addition to that, ath_hal_buildopts should be included in the latest
HAL.  Please make sure that you have the correct file:

host> cd /sys/contrib/dev/ath/public && md5 i386*
MD5 (i386-elf.hal.o.uu) = 3f9317b0791abb69171398b4863e49b5
MD5 (i386-elf.inc) = 6863a4fe13c44b8375f5138738490de4
MD5 (i386-elf.opt_ah.h) = 6e0816e54ecc2bf7709275dae1af4fdf
