I'm running a -current kernel from about a week ago and am trying to get
my atheros card to work. 

With this kernel I am able to recognize my atheros card ok, however I 
am not able to send/receive any data. Am I missing a configuration option?

I am configuring as follows :

ifconfig ath0 nwid 1234 nwkey ********  ; ifconfig ath0 nwkey persist:******** up

Which is is able to contact my 3com 80211b router and I can tell it is authenticating correctly. however I am not able to send any packets. By running debug on router, I am not seeing any packets coming to/from my card. 

Is there something else I need to add to my kernel? 


I have compiled my kernel (essentially DR-EVIL) with only adding the one line:

# atheros card
ath*    at cardbus? function ?

However as you can see the rest of the wireless devices are commented out.
