Well, now the fun begins, because the routine that needs to be updated 
is ath_hal_probe() which is contained in the blob file at 
src/sys/contrib/dev/ath/public/i386-elf.hal.o.u

I guess it's time to try to contact the author.  Yet while his name is 
given in the README file, there's no E-mail address.

Hmmm, maybe I'll just go find some other device to use instead.    :)
