I just installed 5.3-BETA5 on an IBM T41 with an Atheros wireless card.  Boot
message shows 11a and 11g rates, but no 11b:

"ifconfig -m" shows autoselect, 11a and 11g, but no 11b.


Is there some config parameter I can fix?  Should I wait for 5.3-RELEASE?
Should I grab -CURRENT instead?  Should I apply Sam Leffler's patch?
