I've solved my problem with changing the server because the previous
server could not enable ACPI support.  Moreover, I've succeeded in
setting the host-ap up using ath(4).

IMO, ACPI was a problem.  I still encounter a panic during booting or
ifconfig-up in the current server whenever I disable ACPI support.  If I
enable ACPI support, it works good.

Thank you for your help.  :-)
