I still haven't seen you say what os version you're running or what 
ifconfig ath0 shows.  Here is what I see when devd runs at boot on my t42.

Processing event '+ath0 vendor=0x168c device=0x1014 subvendor=0x17ab

Testing media type of ath0 against 0x20
ath0 has media type 0x80
Testing media type of ath0 against 0x80
ath0 has media type 0x80
Executing '/etc/pccard_ether ath0 start'

The machine is running a recent vintage of current.

If you don't see the interface name then devd cannot query the media 
type so you won't match based on media type.
