Ath0 802.11 comes up with Sam's patch but shows no carrier and I can't make it connect.

[Paul B. Mahol]

Because it looks like you are using CURRENT, first you need to create
wlanX interface:

ifconfig wlan create wlandev ath0

Read man page of ath (if you did installed new world) and/or entry in
/usr/src/UPDATING dated 20080420.
