Hi,
The ath driver right doesn't (currently!) build a separate HAL and ath
driver module. It's something I plan on doing sometime soon as part of
the embedded MIPS board support though.
Anyway, it probed/attached. The AR2425 is just a different bus variant
of the AR2424. So it's detected fine.
Now, why it isn't working - I'm not sure. Compile it up with
ATH_DEBUG, AH_DEBUG nad ATH_DIAGAPI in your kernel config file, then
compile up tools/ath/ath/athstats/ and run it for me.
