>Description:

Built a new kernel including the devices as specified in ath(4).
The device failed to associate.  The problem is that wlan_scan_sta
needs to be either loaded as a kernel module or built into the
kernel.  The man page is missing this critical information.

>How-To-Repeat:

Add the devices as specified in ath(4) kernel config, build
new kernel, watch failure of ath to associate.

>Fix:

Fix the documentation to include all required devices.
