Hi,
First of all, thank you for spending your time on this, it's a really good 
job.
I've ran into some problems with both CURRENT and patched 8-STABLE on the 
first try (I have ath0 interface running, it seems to associate with AP, 
but it doesn't seem to transmit any frames), however, my overall system 
doesn't feel well right now, so I don't think that's a driver's issue. 
I'll give it a try on a fresh CURRENT installation soon, report will 
follow.
