FreeBSD doesn't have implemented driver for that chip.

Once plugged in:
# kldload if_ath_pci

If kernel has nothing to say (main concole), then it is true.

AR93xx, AR94xx, AR95xx - Those require boot-strapping chip support from the ath9k/reference code; but it first requires some changes to the driver (DMA, interrupt handling, descriptor handling.)

Sell it and get one of:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/dev/ath_hal(4)/HardwareSupport

Or wait until/if they get supported.
