This is for dwl-547 pci card
ath1: <Atheros 9280> mem 0xff9b0000-0xff9bffff irq 23 at device 2.0 on pci5
ath1: AR9280 mac 128.2 RF5133 phy 13.0

and this is for mini-pcie card (inside laptop)
ath0: <Atheros 9285> mem 0xd7100000-0xd710ffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci6
ath0: AR9285 mac 192.2 RF5133 phy 14.0

I think i have one. 

ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xff9f0000-0xff9fffff irq 21 at device 0.0 on pci5
ath0: [ITHREAD]
ath0: AR2413 mac 7.9 RF2413 phy 4.5

I'm using it as an AP now, instead of new dwl-547 (wich is ath1 and not used), 
because using ath1 (Atheros 9280) as AP produces many many errors like that:

ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)

in any mode and finally it's refuses to work at all. That's why i can't use my 
new dwl-547 :( and it just stays for better times.

Also i think i have another one inside my old laptop HP Pavilion dv6940er. I 
will check it out and report back.
