That looks like it's using the 5213 chipset.

Are you running CURRENT, or STABLE, or???

Are you using it with the ndis drivers, or the native ath driver? 

The ath man page on STABLE doesn't mention working with the 5213
chipset, and google/my-memory also finds comments about the current
HAL not supporting it.

Is there something newer out there?
