ath driver

I'm dual booting with FreeBSD on my laptop now, 5.3-BETA5. I have a D-link
wireless card, DWL-G650, which is based on the Atheros chip. When I do a
kldload if_ath.ko it prints a load of stuff saying speeds etc and ifconfig
then has a ath0 device :-)

However, I tried configuring it and it all seems a bit random. It'll still
say "no carrier" still and sometimes it will go into the associated state
and I can ping machines, but then it'll go back to no carrier again? The
length is stays in the associated state seems a bit random. Sometimes i'll
get it for maybe a minute, sometimes it'll just immediately switch back to
no carrier. Is anyone using the ath driver with success? I'm all of 10cm
away from the access point too....

Suggestions?
