Seems to work fine on my laptop:

ath_hal: 0.9.20.3 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413)
ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xd0210000-0xd021ffff at device 4.0 on pci2
ath0: using obsoleted if_watchdog interface
ath0: Ethernet address: 00:80:48:7e:16:96
ath0: mac 7.8 phy 4.5 radio 5.6

Anything special you want to have tested?  I use this laptop daily
so it will see 'runtime' anyway..
