I can't tell what the pci device id is but I have 2 pre-production EMP-8602 cards and they work fine with both head and releng6: ath0@pci4:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x2063168c chip=0x001b168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.' class = network subclass = ethernet ath_hal: 0.9.16.16 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413) ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xdfb10000-0xdfb1ffff at device 0.0 on cardbus0 ath0: Ethernet address: 00:02:6f:3b:c0:95 ath0: mac 10.4 phy 6.1 radio 6.3 In general all pci/cardbus parts other than the MIMO part should work.
