We have to look at how to create config files and commit them but before
that:

So, I've setup things for wlan and hostapd and did "cfg_save" and reboot.

But I do not see "ath0" in o/p of ifconfig.

The drivers are there:
 # kldstat
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1   16 0x80050000 2d8f10   kernel
 2    2 0xc0081000 4924     bridgestp.ko
 3    1 0xc0086000 6d90     if_bridge.ko
 4    1 0xc008d000 a5e0     random.ko
 6    1 0xc0098000 11e4bc   if_ath.ko
 7    1 0xc01b7000 606fc    wlan.ko
#

And ath wireless card is on pci0.

# pciconf -lv
none0 at pci0:0:0:0:       class=0x028000 card=0xe3020777 chip=0x002a168c
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
    device     = 'AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)'
    class      = network
#

If I look at the AP91.hints file we are using:

# ath0 hint - pcie slot 0
hint.pcib.0.bus.0.0.0.ath_fixup_addr=0x1fff1000
hint.pcib.0.bus.0.0.0.ath_fixup_size=4096

# ath
hint.ath.0.eeprom_firmware="pcib.0.bus.0.0.0.eeprom_firmware"

I am not sure if this is correct. Also, looking at sysctls:

# sysctl -a | grep dev.pci
dev.pcib.0.%driver: pcib
dev.pcib.0.%parent: nexus0
dev.pci.0.%desc: PCI bus
dev.pci.0.%driver: pci
dev.pci.0.%parent: pcib0
#

I believe something is not correct here.

Cheers,
