Alright. I was not loading if_ath_pci and that was the reason.
(Thanks to Sean for yelling at me from across the isle).

But now, it fails at:

ath0: <Atheros 9280> at device 0.0 on pci0
ath0: ath_pci_attach: EEPROM firmware @ 0x8046c000
[ath]: default pwr offset: -5 dBm != EEPROM pwr offset: 0 dBm; curves will
be adjusted.
ath0: ath_getchannels: unable to collect channel list from hal, status 12
device_attach: ath0 attach returned 22

Just for reference:
