The GENERIC kernel that ships with FreeBSD does not include the
Atheros drivers.  You need to manually load:
  if_ath
  wlan_wep
  wlan_tkip
  wlan_ccmp

Any needed modules will be auto-loaded by the above.  Once those are
loaded, you will be able to use the card.

If you want to compile the drivers into the kernel, you will need:
  wlan
  wlan_wep
  wlan_tkip
  wlan_ccmp
  ath
  ath_hal
  ath_rate_sample
