here is how to enable Dlink DWL-AG530

[AT Matik]

Hi
I brought the ATH DWL-AG530 card to work and who is interested can take this 
steps, I got the idea from madwifi linux driver:

You need to copy this

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8966525

and compile, it worked for me on 5.4 and 6.0-RC1

gcc ar5k.c -o ar5k 


then you need to change a line in /usr/src/sys/dev/ath/if_ath.c
look for:

        if (!ath_hal_init_channels(ah, chans, IEEE80211_CHAN_MAX, &nchan,
            cc, HAL_MODE_ALL, outdoor, xchanmode)) {
                u_int32_t rd;

                ath_hal_getregdomain(ah, &rd);
                if_printf(ifp, "unable to collect channel list from hal; "
                        "regdomain likely %u country code %u\n", rd, cc);
                free(chans, M_TEMP);
                return EINVAL;
        }

and change return EINVAL; into return 0;

compile the kernel or the module


then reboot or load the module

you should see ath0 but still not usable, now query your messages to find the 
card's mem and then run ark5k on it as

ark5k 0xe1800000 0x10

after a new module reload or reboot you can fully use the card as usual ath
