NetBSD sysctl convention is different.  These parameters are under
hw.ath0.

I'm a little unclear about how tpscale & tpc work, btw.  I know that
tpscale scales power levels on all channels.  Experimenting the other
night, it seemed like greater tpscale yielded lower power.  I believe
tpc enables/disables per-packet transmit power control.  We don't have
the ifconfig-fu to control power.

I don't understand why you're turning off antenna diversity.  Do you
have just one antenna on your equipment?
