Um, this is a no-op.  Both of the old ones (and I assume the new one as well)
install as "ath_rate.ko."  This means that the last one wins, which will now
be ath_rate_sample (previously it was ath_rate_onoe).

You want to go to sys/modules/ath_rate_{amrr|onoe|sample| and do a 'make
install'.

Hmm.  Is ath_rate_sample linked properly?
