Hmm - this was working this morning before I updated, with a -CURRENT as of last week, and I didn't notice anything in /usr/src/UPDATING. So what I should have is:
ath_load="YES"
ath_hal_load="YES"
ath_rate_load="YES"
I guess what I missed (and just noticed), is that there are not individual modules for each rate algorithm now, one module (named ath_rate) that is the algorithm of whatever is built.

I did that already - but why doesn't a 'make installkernel ...' not accomplish that? (forgive my ignorance)

How can I help you determine that? (is readelf -a output what you want?)
It seems as though I need to load ath_rate before if_ath, but ath_rate is failing due to:
link_elf: symbol ath_hal_computetxtime undefined
