I have an 5212 card on IBM X31. Setting at the same location, the windows
Atheros driver works very well. However, using FreeBSD the network sometime=

hang and saw some 'ath0 device timeout' at console. But, when I switched to=

ath_sample (orig is onoe)  it works very well. Althought I didn't
check the speed,
the ssh connection does not hang any more. BTW, ifconfig ath0 list ap shows
that S:N is about 8:0 to 13:0. My current is Jun 15.
