You need to set the tunable debug.wpi before loading the module. Set it
to 0x82, enable bootverbose and then load the module. I see you also
don't have the revision D hardware, which is the only one the driver
actively knows about.
It's also interesting that all the A channels are listed as being passive,
what regdomain do you have set (ifconfig wlan0 will say)? You could try
changing the regdomain (IANAL) and see what happens.
