Received the following error while trying to rebuild the kernel with 
your new ath hal/driver:

I had to patch if_athvar.h, which fixed things for me:

--- if_athvar.h.old     Tue Dec 13 00:40:52 2005
+++ if_athvar.h Tue Dec 13 00:41:38 2005
_at__at_ -78,6 +78,7 _at__at_
  /* driver-specific node state */
  struct ath_node {
         struct ieee80211_node an_node;  /* base class */
+       u_int8_t        an_tx_rate3;
         u_int32_t       an_avgrssi;     /* average rssi over all rx 
frames */
         /* variable-length rate control state follows */
  };


Hopefully that's the right fix. The new hal/driver seem to be working 
fine so far... thanks for your work on this.

ath_hal: 0.9.16.13 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413,
