I believe this is my problem:

hw.ath.hal.version: 0.9.6.3

Looking at CVS
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/contrib/dev/ath/README>
it seems as though an updated ath_hal module that supports newer cards
was committed on 2004/12/08, but has not yet trickled down to -stable.
Mine is from 2003.
