possible cause of ath problem

[JoaoBR]

I found some mismatch for atheros cards like the DWL-G520 and DWL-AG530 which 
are identified by FreeBSD as Atheros 5212 and on Linux as Atheros 5213

this case the AG530:

On 6.0-R

wlan: mac acl policy registered
ath_hal: 0.9.16.16 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413)
ath1: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xfad00000-0xfad0ffff irq 17 at device 12.0 on pci0
ath1: Ethernet address: 00:11:95:c2:2a:80
ath1: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 radio 3.6


On 5.4-R

ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xe5000000-0xe500ffff irq 10 at device 11.0 on pci0
ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 5ghz radio 3.6
ath0: Ethernet address: 00:11:95:c2:2a:70
ath0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 
36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
ath0: turbo rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps

On StarOS

May 17 04:20:21 kernel: wpci0: Atheros 5213 802.11a/b/g mem 0xf8100000, irq 11
May 17 04:20:21 kernel: wpci0: Revisions: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 analog 3.6
May 17 04:20:21 kernel: wpci0: Hardware Address: 00:11:95:ca:46:bd
May 17 04:20:21 kernel: wpci0: Supported Modes: 11b-11Mb 11a-54Mb 11a-108Mb 
11g-54Mb 11g-108Mb



the important thing is that this card on 6.0-R sometimes stops without any 
messages and I can get it back by ifconfig down and up

this does not happen on Star-Os so the problem might be here 5213 versus 
5212 ?
