The ath driver is available in 5.4 RELEASE; but is not compiled into
the GENERIC kernel.  If my memory serves me correctly, people on this
list have reported problems loading the kernel modules.  Therefore,
you'll probably need to recompile the kernel with the following:

	device ath
	device ath_hal
