My gut says you probably need to update the ath HAL layer as well.  This 
is not necessarily a difficult task, but it requires some effort to 
download the latest HAL (usually found in FreeBSD, or ask Sam Leffler 
for the latest location), and adjust the driver headers, etc. to 
accommodate the changes.  (There are versioning checks which have to be 
accommodated.)   I've done this in the past, and would be willing to 
help try to make it work, if someone sent me loaner hardware or granted 
access to test with.
