Some additional information in case that's helpful.
$ pciconf -lv
ath0 at pci0:8:10:0: class=0x020000 card=0x132910cf chip=0x001b168c
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
device = 'AR5006 family 802.11abg Wireless NIC'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
Also, it seems that I am getting a lot more of these messages in
/var/log/messages:

The ath manpage provides a bit of information ("This should not
happen") on `bogus xmit rate' but not on `bogus ndx0'.
Once again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
