Mr. Leffler:

Cvsup'ed -current yesterday (which apparently contains your patched 
"ath"files -- diff(1) showed no , uh, difference...), then copied the
un-archived ath_hal-20051212 to /usr/src/sys/contrib/dev/ath. When I did 
make buildworld && make kernel KERNCONF=GENERIC, I got the following errors;

This happened on a stock GENERIC. I don't have one of the new cards. I 
was just checking to make sure it still worked for my old card. It's a 
D-Link DWL-G630.

ath_hal: 0.9.14.9 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413)
ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0x88000000-0x8800ffff at device 0.0 on cardbus1
ath0: Ethernet address: 00:13:46:b6:19:ea
ath0: mac 7.8 phy 4.5 radio 5.6

If you require more info, or just need to point out the error of my 
ways, please advise.

Thanks,
Patrick
