But I don't have the ar5416 chipset... Mine is AR2312... And it is an
option, so should not it be optional? Anyway, I tried adding that option
and the error is the same (did cleandepend && depend, saw ah.c
recompiled anew).

Thanks, I did that. After several attempts to fiddle with
options/devices, the wireless section now looks like:
# Wireless NIC cards
device wlan # 802.11 support
options IEEE80211_DEBUG # enable debug msgs
options IEEE80211_AMPDU_AGE # age frames in AMPDU reorder q's
options IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH # enable 802.11s draft support
device wlan_wep # 802.11 WEP support
device wlan_ccmp # 802.11 CCMP support
device wlan_tkip # 802.11 TKIP support
device wlan_amrr # AMRR transmit rate control algorithm
device ath
device ath_rate_sample # SampleRate tx rate control for ath
device ath_ar5212
#device ath_rate_onoe
#options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 # enable AR5416 tx/rx
descriptors
Generic simply uses the entire ath_hal, but ath_hal(4) suggests, that
picking out a single driver should work...
