I use the CardBus version of this model under RELENG_5 for two months now.
It is not perfect (stability link status), but it works correctly most of
the time:

 $ grep -i ath0 /var/run/dmesg.boot
 ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0x88000000-0x8800ffff irq 18 at device 0.0 on
cardbus0
 ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 5ghz radio 4.6
 ath0: Ethernet address: 00:0f:b5:a0:fb:43
 ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
 ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps
24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps

Maybe is it related to the PCI version (any user here?).
