As Warner said, I think there are two issues.

To rule out pilot error, I now test with both the 6.3 and 7.0 from disk 
1 of the install CD's.  Both have ath compiled in.

Booting from a laptop, ath is seen just fine.  I use sysinstall to 
configure ath, enter a shell and play with ifconfig etc.

When I boot on the system that has the pci->cardbus adapter, ath isn't 
detected at all.  On this same system, my 802.11b (wi0) cards are 
detected just fine.
